Camp Director, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

On-site at an Alpha campus in Miami, FL, or New York City, NY — relocation assistance available $200,000/year Full-time Traditional schools often lower the bar when students fall behind. You take the opposite approach. You’re convinced that young learners can accomplish far more than conventional classrooms demand, and you’ve led teams that demonstrate this through concrete, measurable outcomes. You understand that accountability, motivation, and rigorous standards transform lives in ways that one more practice sheet never could. At Alpha, core academics are completed in just two morning hours using adaptive learning technology. This structure allows you to concentrate on the highest-leverage work: coaching students toward independent learning while developing the Guides who enable that transformation. You will be accountable for outcomes within a K-3 cohort, leveraging data, observation, and coaching to ensure that every child loves school, learns at twice the typical pace, and builds outstanding life skills. This position is neither an instructional coach role nor a traditional principal role. You will not spend your time trapped in meetings or administrative tasks. Instead, you’ll be in classrooms, evaluating student and Guide performance, leading workshops on focus, accountability, resilience, and communication, and coaching both children and adults toward tangible progress. Your impact will extend beyond your cohort. You’ll capture what succeeds, develop playbooks that elevate standards across the school, and contribute to how Alpha cultivates future Guides. If you’re motivated by developing people, scaling excellence, and demonstrating that extraordinary results are achievable when expectations remain high, we want to hear from you. What You Will Be Doing Coach students and Guides through performance data, classroom observations, and direct feedback to drive measurable gains. Design and deliver compelling workshops for K-3 students that build communication, accountability, resilience, focus, collaboration, and other life skills. Conduct one-on-one and small-group coaching that links student motivation with academic growth and autonomy. Develop and iterate on reusable coaching playbooks that elevate performance across the entire Guide team. Mentor and train Guides while demonstrating exceptional coaching and facilitation daily. What You Won’t Be Doing Providing traditional classroom instruction or lecturing on academic content; adaptive technology addresses core academics. Handling discipline through punishment or reducing expectations when students face challenges. Operating from an office rather than engaging directly with students and Guides each day. Managing campus operations, budgets, or parent communications; your priority is people development and outcome improvement. Adhering to conventional elementary school methods simply because “that’s how it’s always been done.” Camp Director Key Responsibilities Fulfill Alpha’s three promises for every K-3 student by developing high-performing Guides, highly motivated students, and a coaching culture that reliably generates exceptional academic and life outcomes.
