Are conventional schools letting students down by teaching at them rather than alongside them?

Alpha Schools is transforming education by replacing traditional lectures and textbooks with AI-driven adaptive learning and mentorship at the student level. Each learner advances at their individual pace. Your role is to help them uncover their strengths, not to deliver predetermined lessons.

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

Phoenix: Over 300 sunny days annually and an outdoor-focused lifestyle with affordable cost of living.
