Traditional schools confine high-potential students to lecture-based classrooms built for the average learner.

Alpha operates differently: we deliver student-driven education that advances at the rate of ability, not the constraints of standardized curriculum.

You will not oversee 30 students in rows or execute district-mandated lesson plans. Instead, you will coach focused groups of self-motivated learners seeking to accelerate their progress, deepen their understanding, and take ownership of their academic journey. If your success has come through unconventional routes—competitive achievement, athletic excellence, business ventures, or creative endeavors—and you understand how to convert ambition into measurable outcomes, this position leverages your experience for their growth.

Teaching credentials are not necessary. Exceptional performance is.
