Job description

Public schools optimize for systems, not students. One-size-fits-all learning. No personalization. No real life-skill training. Minimal ownership. Minimal agency.

YEON exists to change that.

We build personalized learning paths, develop real-world skills, and prepare students not just for school and college but for life. Elementary through high school is our training ground.

Our end goal is an alternative school model that actually works.

We're looking for those who want to build the future of learning.
