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 Middle School team, working closely with fellow middle school teachers, student support staff and school leadership. This team is responsible for delivering standards-aligned instruction while supporting student growth and academic success.

The team culture is collaborative, fast-paced and mission driven and you’ll have opportunities to grow as an educator and support students while partnering across Primavera Online School.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your work will directly impact students and families by driving academic progress and creating a supportive online learning environment.

You’ll help support learners, drive academic success and enhance student success, 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:

• Provide communication and support to students and families via phone, messaging, text, and email while monitoring attendance and academic progress.
• Deliver standards-aligned instruction, grade assignments, provide individualized feedback, and prepare students for standardized assessments.
• Post announcements, manage discussion boards, and maintain a positive, orderly, and academically focused online classroom environment.
• Collaborate with administrators, participate in coaching, professional development, department meetings, and assist with administering assessments as needed.
• Utilize the learning management system, Parent Student Portal, student information systems, online classroom platforms (webcam-based), and documentation tools to track progress and maintain compliance.
• This position requires availability to work core business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Arizona time, Monday through Friday.

This role balances independent work and collaboration and is well-suited for someone who enjoys supporting students, managing details, communicating clearly, problem-solving, and working with purpose.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Standard Professional Arizona Teacher Certificate
• Highly qualified in the approved area of Middle School Science
• Teaching experience at the middle school level

Bonus points if you also have:

• Experience with online teaching platforms and educational technology
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Effective problem-solving and organizational skills

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 support that fits real life—from virtual wellness programs and wellness coaching to flexible work options for select roles
• Generous PTO options, including unlimited PTO for exempt roles and "life happens" days when flexibility is needed
• A fully paid holiday week off at Christmas to rest, reset, and recharge
• Recognition and rewards that celebrate birthdays, meaningful milestones, and the important work you do for students and families
• Quarterly Town Halls to keep communication transparent, aligned, and human
• Annual events and traditions that help us stay connected as a remote school community

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