ALTIUS CULTURE
We approach work differently.
Most people have a job. Our team has a mission.
Most people are employees. We are mentors.
Most people TRADE their time for money. We INVEST our time in those we serve.
Most people seek to elevate themselves. Our mission is to elevate our clients and team members.
Most people expect a raise based on tenure. We reward excellence, not existence.
Most people work for someone elses gain. We work as one and win together.
Most people make WIDGETSand frequently change JOBS. We make a DIFFERENCEand frequently change LIVES.
Meaningful, mission-driven work does change lives. It doesnt maximize profits, impress investors, or help anyone get-rich-quick. Our mission is immense. The barriers to our success are numerous. The work is hardand theres a lot of it. For those reasons, most folks simply wont like it here. If youre fighting for your piece of the pie, you can probably get a bigger bite elsewhere. On the other hand, if youre exhausted with soulless corporations, societal decay, and low-character leadershipyou may be ready to join us in fighting for something bigger than yourself.
Inspired Work. Never Woke.
Were drawing a line in the sand. We do not bow to woke or politically correct ideology. We hire character first, talent second. Around here, those words mean we will hire you (or fire you) based on those two criterianever your gender, your skin color, or any other non-mission-related nonsense. We will never coerce you to speak allegiance to any political or sociological fetish, left or right. We celebrate Christmas. If that offends you, you shouldnt work here. We also celebrate Hanukah and Ramadan. If that offends you, you shouldnt work here. We live the truth that all people are created equal. Woke ideology divides us; we focus on what unites us.
Win or lose, we are beholden to no one.
We dont participate in corporate welfare. We refused millions of dollars in PPP funds and we wont be taking government subsidies or handouts in the future. We make a profit : Every. Single. Year. This small margin is our lifeblood, it is our primary tool for growth, and we defend it by honoring every dollar. We dont go into debt. Ever.
Freedom Lovers Gathering...
We are grateful. We are blessed. After God and family, freedom is our greatest endowment. Nothing we achieve would be possible without personal freedom, a free-market system, and the safeguards of our inspired Constitution. We love America and never back down from her defense. Yes, these can be fighting wordsbut we have courage.
Some folks will find our ideals repulsive, and thats okay. If you find them refreshing, please apply today; wed like to get to know you better.
OUR MISSION
Were on a mission to elevate the character, behavior and performance of all students and team members through faithful adherence to true principles and proven scientific methods.
ALTIUS HISTORY
Altius has achieved steady annual growth and profitability for 17 years, while remaining debt-free. This growth continued through the COVID lockdown, despite significant downturns throughout our industry. We currently employ 300 team members, and have a presence in nearly all 50 states, Canada, and select international locations. We provide students with effective, caring 1-on-1 mentoring and scientifically-backed education tools. Altius, which means higher in Latin, is a symbolic banner reminding us to insist upon elite performance in everything we do. We are currently staring at massive opportunities across multiple product lines. Education in the United States is about to undergo a massive transformation and we are uniquely poised to flourish in this environment. Our team is in need of proven leaders (rebels) from the Secondary Education field who will inspire, motivate, support, and hold their students accountable. Your job is to boldly lead our clients through their academic metamorphosis from typical student to high-achieving Altius graduate.
THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU
- hope to replicate or maintain an 8 AM 4 PM schedule with summers off. This job will boost your salary, but may require longer hours and more overall investment. That said, it has been our experience that many public educators are actually logging many, many hours outside of the typical school schedule. If thats youthe transition may not be an issue.
- generally like the public school system as it currently stands. We believe the public school system, from elementary to graduate school, is broken. Volumes of academic research refute the methods currently in use, so to be happy long-term moving from public education to Altius you need to have a revolutionary spirit.
- accept the idea that students generally perform in line with the typical bell-curve distribution and theres not a lot that can be done to change that factgiven their varying aptitudes and backgrounds. Busting curves is our businesswe believe every student is capable of 95-100th percentile performance given the right tools and training. At Altius, we hold ourselves accountable for helping ALL students succeed.
- are concerned about or unwilling to travel. We serve students and mentors coast-to-coast and they need to see their leaders face-to-face with some regularity. Out-of-town travel will be required about 8-12 weeks per year (always home on weekends).
- care about your ego, or prefer not to have your ideas or decisions challenged.
THIS COULD BE THE IDEAL FIT IF YOU
