Grounded in learning science and enhanced by adaptive technology, our approach challenges traditional educational boundaries. We require your strategic expertise to execute this vision effectively.

You will serve as the driving force, coach, and architect behind our Guides – the frontline learning facilitators who go beyond instruction to inspire. Your leadership will define how Alpha Guides engage with students, encompassing the creation of operational playbooks, feedback systems, and the demonstration of exemplary facilitation techniques.

Consider the opportunity to merge your superior coaching capabilities with a practical commitment to youth development. Envision guiding a team dedicated to ensuring our students not only achieve success but flourish – discovering latent talents and essential life competencies.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Developing lesson plans – your Guides support student learning through adaptive applications; your priority is equipping them to be outstanding facilitators
