Traditional schools often teach at students rather than alongside them—a model that limits real growth.
Alpha Schools has built an alternative: AI-driven adaptive learning paired with peer-focused mentorship. Students set their own pace. Your role is to help them uncover their strengths, not recite pre-written lessons.
This position is designed for high-caliber individuals ready to direct their energy toward repairing an outdated system. You will not be grading assignments or adhering to rigid curricula. Instead, you'll facilitate workshops, spark intellectual curiosity, and demonstrate that education becomes limitless when students take ownership.
Scottsdale (Phoenix): Over 300 days of sunshine annually with access to outdoor recreation and cost-effective living.
Austin: A technology-driven city offering rich culture, abundant green spaces, and diverse culinary options.
Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-centered community with rapidly expanding arts, dining, and commerce sectors.
