Alpha is engineered differently: we prioritize student‑driven learning that advances at the rate of individual capability rather than standardized curriculum timelines. You will not oversee 30 students following district‑mandated lesson plans. Instead, you will mentor small cohorts of self‑motivated learners seeking accelerated progress, deeper exploration, and ownership of their educational journey. If your success has emerged from non‑traditional routes—competitive achievement, athletics, business ventures, or creative disciplines—and you understand how to convert motivation into measurable outcomes, this position leverages your experience to their benefit.

Teaching certification is not necessary. Excellence in execution is essential.
