Description

LOCATION NOTE: This position requires on-site presence at our Brownsville, Texas campus. Relocation support is provided.

Are you someone who thrives on challenging conventions and redefining what's possible? Do you seek an opportunity that combines meaningful challenge, adventure, and the ability to transform young lives? Alpha Schools is where educational innovation meets unlimited potential—and we invite you to join our transformative work at the Brownsville campus.

Alpha is not a traditional school; it's a movement. We've moved beyond lectures, static classrooms, and standardized testing. Picture an environment where students learn twice as much in half the time, supported by you—a dynamic, motivating leader—who transforms education into an exciting pursuit of mastery and essential life skills. An added bonus? Our campus neighbors SpaceX. The cutting edge of education meets the cutting edge of space innovation.

Alpha students don't simply attend classes. They excel academically through adaptive technology and mastery-based learning, while simultaneously building critical life skills including public speaking, leadership, and problem-solving. We seek someone who can ignite the drive that empowers students to embrace challenges and unlock their full potential.

Consider applying if…

  • You're prepared to help reimagine the possibilities of education.
  • You bring experience inspiring, motivating, or coaching young people in non-traditional contexts (athletic coach, camp counselor, etc.).
  • You embody the qualities of a role model with infectious enthusiasm for excellence.

Why Alpha?

  • An extraordinary journey: This represents more than employment—it's a chance to participate in an educational revolution within a distinctive, dynamic community.
  • Meaningful impact: Shape a new generation of learners who excel both academically and emotionally.
  • Competitive compensation: You deserve strong pay for work you're passionate about.
  • Professional development: We invest in your growth through coaching, training, and clear leadership pathways.
  • Mission-driven team: Become part of a close community of dedicated professionals committed to transforming education.

This is your opportunity to build the future of learning—and advance your career.

What you will be doing

  • Designing and Leading Workshops: Create and deliver workshops that prompt students to think, "I never knew I was capable of this!" Cover actionable skills from public speaking to entrepreneurship that truly inspire.
  • Facilitating Daily Motivation Sessions: Begin each day by helping students establish ambitious goals and develop the mindset to achieve them.
  • Driving Student Achievement: Apply proven methodologies to ensure every student reaches rigorous academic and personal targets.
  • Developing Personalized Motivational Approaches: Collaborate with students to create reward systems and incentives that fuel self-motivated excellence.

What you will NOT be doing

  • Conventional instruction: Set aside chalkboards and lectures. Alpha students master core subjects through advanced applications—your function is to guide, motivate, and enhance their educational experience.
  • Implementing discipline: We reject punitive approaches. You'll apply reasoning and positive reinforcement to build a respectful, dynamic learning environment.
