Traditional schools often teach at students rather than alongside them—a model that fails too many young people.

Alpha Schools replaces conventional lectures and textbooks with AI-driven adaptive learning paired with peer-level mentorship. Each student moves forward at their own speed. Your role is to guide them toward uncovering their strengths, not to deliver predetermined lessons.

This position is built for high performers who want to apply that energy to repairing a system that's fundamentally broken. You won't spend time grading assignments or adhering to rigid curricula. Instead, you'll facilitate workshops, spark curiosity, and demonstrate that education becomes limitless when students take ownership of their learning.

Phoenix: Over 300 days of sunshine annually and an active outdoor culture, all with cost-effective living.
Austin: A thriving technology hub featuring rich culture, abundant green spaces, and a diverse culinary landscape.
Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-focused community experiencing rapid growth in arts, dining, and commerce.
