What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Admissions, Alpha - $200,000/year USD position at Crossover?
Most admissions positions are designed to drive volume. This position exists to uphold standards.
Alpha is constructing one of the most ambitious educational models in existence. Our campuses integrate rigorous academics, technology-enabled learning, and elevated expectations for both students and staff. Students routinely achieve learning gains that exceed national benchmarks, supported by measurable outcomes. Afternoons are dedicated to depth, autonomy, and practical skill development. The model is effective. But its effectiveness depends entirely on enrolling the right families.
This is your responsibility.
You will manage the complete enrollment process for a campus, beginning with initial inquiry and continuing through onboarding. This is not a role where you pass families from one person to another. You are accountable for how families perceive us, how thoroughly they grasp the model, and whether enrollment choices are made with clarity and alignment. You will evaluate fit, facilitate meaningful discussions, and advise against enrollment when appropriate. The objective is not to maximize headcount. The objective is alignment.
We welcome candidates from premium service backgrounds outside conventional education: selective private schools, competitive programs, luxury hospitality, executive support, high-end membership organizations, or entrepreneurs who have personally directed high-value client experiences from start to finish. What counts is your capacity to execute a high-touch, multi-phase process with discernment, precision, and accountability.
If your career has been built on delivering exceptional service where trust, discretion, and experience quality are the foundation of the brand, this role will resonate with you—only applied to work that genuinely transforms outcomes.
This is a full-time, salaried, on-site position. We are hiring in La Jolla, Los Angeles, Marin County, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, South Bay. Relocation assistance is available.
What You Will Be Doing
Design and deliver a high-trust, high-selectivity enrollment process that successfully enrolls aligned families while safeguarding the integrity and outcomes of the Alpha model.
Basic Requirements
Want to join a learning rebellion that’s transforming the traditional classroom?
Alpha School is on a mission to reshape education with a bold approach that harnesses AI to accelerate learning and unleash student potential.
They don’t play by the old rules.
Alpha is creating a new paradigm where students master core academics in just two hours a day, freeing up time for hands-on, passion-driven learning that truly prepares them for the real world.
Alpha School is rewriting the rules of education.
Sounds too good to be true? It’s not.
