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

Location and Compensation On-site at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY; Miami, FL; or San Francisco, CA — we provide relocation support. Annual salary: $200,000. Full‑time, 40 hours per week. Job Summary Traditional elementary schools lower expectations when students struggle. In this role you will maintain high expectations and use measurable evidence to show that a six‑year‑old can achieve significantly more than conventional classrooms demand. What You Will Be Doing Coach Guides and students through performance metrics, classroom observation, and direct feedback, maintaining accountability to defined, measurable objectives. Lead one‑hour live workshops for K‑3 students covering life skills such as public speaking, concentration, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and feedback exchange. Conduct individual and small‑group motivation sessions that link each child’s personal goals and interests to tangible academic advancement. Develop and refine playbooks that convert your most effective practices into repeatable frameworks for other Guides. Train Guides on these playbooks and demonstrate facilitation excellence to maintain standards as the team expands. What You Won’t Be Doing Provide academic instruction or lecture from the front of the classroom; adaptive apps handle content delivery. Reduce expectations when students face difficulties. Manage from a distance; you remain embedded with your cohort every day. Manage the full campus budget, operations, or parent communications. Advocate for traditional teaching approaches or implement a conventional K‑12 curriculum. Camp Director Key Responsibilities Fulfill Alpha’s three commitments to every K‑3 student: they enjoy school, achieve twice the typical learning rate, and develop exceptional life skills and independence. Basic Requirements Must be able to work on‑site at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY; Miami, FL; or San Francisco, CA; relocation support is available.
