Alpha School is transforming how young children learn. We combine cutting-edge educational technology with essential human connection to create a learning environment where Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students develop curiosity, independence, and resilience.

Our 2-Hour Learning program uses AI-driven adaptive technology to personalize each student's educational experience. Students engage with advanced learning software while receiving direct, hands-on instruction in reading and writing from educators trained in evidence-based methods. This dual approach ensures that young learners grow academically, socially, and emotionally under expert guidance.

We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful opportunities for professional growth in a forward-thinking educational setting. If you're driven by the opportunity to shape the future of early childhood education and skilled at building authentic relationships with young learners, we invite you to join our team.

What you will be doing

  • Guiding students to establish and reach personal learning objectives, helping them develop self-directed learning capabilities.
  • Delivering focused instruction in social-emotional development and early literacy skills, working alongside Reading Specialists.
  • Creating a classroom culture that promotes curiosity and perseverance through engaging, hands-on learning activities.
  • Leveraging AI-driven educational tools to improve learning outcomes and prepare students for a technology-integrated future.
  • Working closely with fellow educators and counselors to address each student's distinct learning journey, adjusting instruction to meet individual needs and preferences.

What you will NOT be doing

🚫 Depending exclusively on conventional teaching approaches without incorporating innovative technology.

🚫 Applying uniform instructional methods—our model celebrates and supports individual learning differences.

🚫 Prioritizing academic content at the expense of students' emotional and social growth.

Key responsibilities

💡 Lead the cultivation of independent learning skills and life competencies for Kindergarten through 2nd graders, establishing a foundation for both academic achievement and personal development.
