Alpha School is reshaping early childhood education through innovation and intentional design. We don't operate within the confines of conventional teaching—we build environments where Kindergarten through 2nd-grade (K-2) students become active participants in their own learning, developing curiosity and independence from the earliest stages.

Our approach centers on the 2-Hour Learning model, which combines AI-powered adaptive technology with direct, research-backed instruction in literacy and foundational skills. While students interact with personalized learning software, they receive hands-on support in reading and writing from educators trained in evidence-based methods. This dual approach ensures young learners grow academically, socially, and emotionally with your guidance.

Alpha offers more than a teaching position—it's a platform for professional advancement. You'll receive competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to develop expertise in a forward-thinking, technology-integrated educational setting. If you're driven to influence the future of learning and skilled at connecting with young children, this role is for you.

What you will be doing

  • Guiding students to establish and pursue individual learning objectives, helping them build self-directed learning habits.
  • Delivering focused instruction in foundational literacy and social-emotional development, working alongside Reading Specialists.
  • Creating a classroom culture that supports curiosity and perseverance through engaging, experiential learning activities.
  • Integrating AI-powered educational tools into daily practice to strengthen outcomes and prepare students for technology-enhanced learning environments.
  • Working closely with fellow educators and counselors to tailor support for each child's learning style and developmental needs.

What you will NOT be doing

🚫 Depending exclusively on conventional teaching models that don't incorporate modern educational technology.

🚫 Applying uniform instructional methods—we prioritize personalized learning that honors each child's individuality.

🚫 Neglecting social and emotional growth in pursuit of academic benchmarks alone.

Key responsibilities
