You have built a career coaching young people — not instructing them. You understand the distinction: coaching means connecting, challenging, and refusing to accept anything less than a student's best effort. Instruction means delivering material. You've never considered yourself a content delivery mechanism.

Alpha operates one of the most unconventional schools you'll encounter. Students don't occupy rows while listening to lectures. They progress through AI-driven learning applications at individualized speeds. AI manages the academic instruction. Your responsibility is delivering life skills workshops that capture and hold the attention of K-8 students, leading motivation sessions that drive them toward weekly learning targets, and maintaining standards when students attempt to disengage.

The academic side runs itself. You manage the human dimension.

This position offers a meaningful growth path, and that path is expanded student impact. Guides who reliably achieve their targets (100% cohort achievement of weekly app goals, satisfaction scores above 90%) advance into Lead Guide positions where they train other educators in executing this work more effectively. Students remain the central focus.

The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If your motivation for leaving your current position is the mission — transforming what a child believes about their own potential — rather than adding a line to your resume, submit your application.
