Conventional schools often fail students by teaching at them rather than working alongside them.

Alpha Schools replaces traditional lectures and textbooks with AI-driven adaptive learning paired with peer-level mentorship. Each student advances at their own speed. Your role is to guide them toward discovering their abilities, not to deliver predetermined lesson plans.

We seek high performers ready to direct that energy toward repairing a failing system. You won't spend time grading assignments or adhering to rigid curricula. Instead, you'll facilitate workshops, spark curiosity, and demonstrate that learning becomes limitless when students take ownership of their education.

Austin: A technology-driven city offering rich culture, outdoor areas such as Zilker Park, a diverse culinary landscape, and over 300 days of sunshine annually.

Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-focused community with expanding arts, dining, and commerce sectors. Cost-effective with genuine Texas character.

Scottsdale (Phoenix): Over 300 sunny days each year and an active outdoor culture paired with reasonable living costs and a flourishing arts community.
