About Primavera Online School:

Primavera Online School is an accredited, tuition-free public charter school serving students across Arizona for more than 25 years. We specialize in flexible, student-centered online education designed to meet learners where they are—academically, emotionally, and socially.

We believe every student deserves access to an education that adapts to their life, not the other way around. At Primavera, we support diverse learners, empower families, and partner closely with educators to create personalized learning experiences that drive real outcomes. Our work is grounded in care, accountability, and a deep commitment to helping students succeed—both in school and beyond.

As a fully remote organization, we value clear communication, collaboration, and ownership. You’ll find a mission-driven team that takes its responsibility to students seriously while supporting one another as professionals and humans.

The Team You Will Join:

You’ll be part of the Elementary School team, working closely with dedicated elementary school teachers across content areas, academic success coaches, school counselors, instructional coaches and school leadership. This team is responsible for delivering engaging, standards-aligned elective instruction to elementary learners-expanding student interests, creative expression, and real-world skills that complement core academics and prepare every student for high school and beyond.

The team culture is collaborative, fast-paced, and deeply student-centered, and you’ll have opportunities to grow as an educator through ongoing PD, collaborate with passionate colleagues across content areas, and be part of a team that believes every kid can thrive - academically, socially, and as a whole person while partnering across Primavera Online School.

The Difference You Will Make:

In this role, your work will directly impact students and families by meeting students where they are. At Primavera, success isn’t one-size-fits-all—for one student it might mean discovering a passion or talent they never knew they had; for another, it might mean developing the creativity, collaboration, and self-directed learning skills that carry over into every area of their education.

You’ll help nurture academic growth, build confidence, and support the whole child, contributing to Primavera’s mission in a meaningful and visible way.

A Typical Day Looks Like:

While no two days are exactly the same, you can expect to:

• Deliver engaging, standards-aligned elective instruction through virtual sessions, small groups, and one-on-one check-ins; adapt pacing and strategies to meet the diverse interests and learning needs of elementary students

• Monitor student progress, attendance, academic integrity, and engagement—using data to make informed instructional decisions and provide timely, meaningful feedback

• Develop and implement individualized learning goals, differentiate instruction for diverse learners, and design and grade assessments that measure student growth and skill development within the elective area

• Partner with academic student success coaches, school counselors, administrators, instructional coaches and families to support the academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of every student

• Use online learning platforms, student information systems, and communication tools to manage instruction, documentation, family outreach, and professional collaboration

• Attendance at key school events (e.g., student orientations, school-sponsored activities, and other events aligned to this role) is required, based on role responsibilities and reasonable proximity to the event location. These events may occur outside of regular working hours and may require occasional travel.

• This position requires availability to work core business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Arizona time, Monday through Friday.

• Must be available to work in person for approximately six weeks each year to support Arizona state testing, including travel to assigned testing locations.

• Performs other duties aligned to the role and organizational needs as assigned.

This role balances structured virtual sessions with responsive, relationship-driven support and is well-suited for someone who enjoys connecting with students at one of the most pivotal stages of their development, helping them explore interests and build skills beyond the core curriculum, and showing up every day with purpose in a fast-paced virtual environment.

Your Expertise Includes:

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• Valid Standard Professional Arizona Teaching Certificate with endorsement(s) appropriate to the elective area(s) assigned (Preferred)

• Valid IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card

• Teaching experience at the elementary level in a virtual or in-person setting

• Strong communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills with students, families, and colleagues

Bonus points if you also have:

• Experience using adaptive technology tools, learning management systems, or student information platforms in an instructional setting

• Background in differentiated instruction, project-based or creative learning, or supporting diverse learners including English Language Learners and students with IEPs

Our Commitment to Inclusion & Belonging:

At Primavera Online School, we serve a richly diverse student population and we believe our team should reflect that same diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful workplace where all team members feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work. Diverse ideas strengthen our school, improve outcomes for students, and help us better serve the families and communities who rely on us.

All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging and purpose.

How We'll Take Care of You:

We believe that supporting our team members is essential to supporting our students. At Primavera, care, balance, and well-being are part of how we operate—not extras.

Our commitment to you includes:

• A competitive total compensation package, including medical, dental, vision, and voluntary benefits

• Well-being that works for real life—from an on-site gym, virtual wellness programs, and wellness coaching to flexible work options for select roles, because your well-being fuels your brilliance

• Unlimited PTO for salaried roles and “life happens” days when you need flexibility

• A fully paid holiday week off at Christmas, so you can truly rest, reset, and reconnect

• Recognition and rewards that celebrate birthdays, meaningful anniversary milestones, and community service hours that let you give back

• Quarterly Town Halls that keep communication transparent, honest, and human

• Annual social events and traditions we genuinely look forward to—like Halloween celebrations, Wellness Fairs, and other moments that bring our community together

We’re intentional about creating a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and proud of the impact they make -every day.
