Nicole Noel

Nicole Noel | Director of Admissions

Nicole brings more than two decades of experience in education, special education, family engagement, and multi-site leadership to her role as Director of Admissions at Alpha School. Throughout her career, she has been passionate about creating educational experiences that recognize each child as an individual and helping families find environments where their children can truly thrive.

With a master’s degree in Early Childhood Special Education and experience leading schools and programs across the DC metropolitan area, Nicole has spent her career partnering with families, developing educators, and advocating for children with diverse learning needs. She believes some of the most important work in education begins with listening—understanding who a child is, what excites them, where they may need support, and what their family hopes for their future.

At Alpha, Nicole loves introducing families to a different way of thinking about school and helping them imagine what becomes possible when students have more time to discover their interests, develop confidence, and build the skills they’ll carry far beyond the classroom.

For Nicole, admissions isn’t simply about choosing a school. It’s about helping families find the place where their child can flourish.

Pam Jackson, PhD

Pam Jackson, PhD | Dean of Parents

Dr. Pam Jackson has spent more than two decades at the intersection of organizational and behavioral economics, helping people and institutions across the Middle East, the UK, Europe, and Capitol Hill unlock their full potential. Her path has taken her from advising organizations and building high-performing teams to a deep, hands-on commitment to education — ten years on the board of directors of a DC public charter school, and another ten years with an educational nonprofit. Every chapter of her career has led to the same conviction: that when people are given the right support, there is no limit to what they can become. She brings that conviction to Alpha Bethesda, where her purpose is singular — to stand as a true partner in every family's success. Pam states: "I joined Alpha to be a part of the most remarkable innovation in education today, and I want to empower the people who are committed to their children's limitlessness. The world that gets created because young people flourish and thrive everywhere in life is phenomenal."
