The most powerful support you can give a student who hits 99% is to insist they reach 100%.

At Alpha, this isn't up for discussion—it's the foundation of daily practice. Students engage with academics through self-directed apps rather than traditional instruction from a teacher. This model allows you to focus on what truly transforms outcomes: facilitating dynamic workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback culture. You'll drive student achievement toward every learning target using live analytics. You'll develop the Guides working with you.

Your resources include performance data, a battle-tested framework, and the executive presence that commands attention from middle schoolers.

You'll lead a student cohort and own three measurable outcomes: students are engaged and enthusiastic about school, they progress at double the rate of conventional classrooms, and they acquire essential life competencies. Coaching other Guides begins immediately. As you demonstrate impact at scale, your authority over campus-wide program standards expands.

Atlanta:
Vibrant metropolitan area with temperate weather and cost of living that offers more value than coastal markets.

Fort Worth:
Zero state income tax, highly rated schools, and a family-oriented city featuring a thriving arts and culinary landscape.
