What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Admissions, Alpha - $200,000/year USD position at Crossover?
While most schools focus on filling enrollment slots, our flagship high school is redefining what families can expect from secondary education—and what comes after.
This role offers you the chance to serve as the public face of the campus that embodies Alpha's vision for transforming high school. As Director of Admissions for Alpha's flagship Austin High School, you will introduce driven students and their families to an education model designed to deliver exceptional results. You will also host media representatives, international visitors, business executives, investors, and education thought leaders who visit to observe how Alpha is reimagining the traditional high school experience.
Alpha high school students complete their academic requirements in just three hours each day using adaptive learning technology. The remaining time is devoted to acquiring practical skills, launching entrepreneurial projects, participating in internships, and cultivating the autonomy needed for post-graduation success. As Alpha grows, our flagship campus establishes the benchmark every subsequent school will follow. This position requires outstanding hospitality, executive-level presence, and the ability to communicate consultatively. You will shepherd families through a pivotal educational choice while representing Alpha to prominent guests from across the globe. Each tour, each discussion, and each interaction should reinforce the conviction that they have witnessed a fundamentally superior method for equipping students for their futures.
If you find fulfillment in working with high-performing families, excel in high-visibility settings, and are motivated to influence the future of education, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
