What if conventional education fails students by lecturing at them rather than learning alongside them?

Alpha Schools has replaced traditional lectures and textbooks with AI-driven adaptive learning systems and peer mentorship models. Students advance at individualized speeds. Your role is to guide them toward discovering their capabilities, not to deliver predetermined lessons.

This position requires high-caliber professionals eager to apply their performance standards to repairing a fundamentally flawed system. You will not be grading assignments or following prescribed curricula. Instead, you will facilitate workshops, spark intellectual curiosity, and demonstrate that education becomes boundless when students take ownership of their learning journey.

Austin: A technology-driven city offering rich cultural experiences, abundant green spaces, and a thriving culinary landscape.
Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-focused community with rapidly expanding arts, dining, and business sectors.
