Online School Director, gt.school (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

Most online schools prioritize access over achievement. They provide digital classrooms. They do not guarantee results.

GT School operates on a different foundation. We support Gifted & Talented K–8 learners through AI-enhanced curriculum and high-expectation mentorship. We are now expanding our virtual platform to enable families to access GT-caliber acceleration regardless of location. This position is designed to create a virtual school model that is demanding, reliable, and demonstrably superior.

You will control the complete operational framework of the virtual program. This encompasses student journey architecture, advisor accountability systems, cohort-level interventions, and family confidence building. There is no established playbook in place. You will analyze performance data, implement rapid corrections, engage directly in live programming as required, and establish the infrastructure that sustains 3× learning gains at scale.

This is a foundational role for someone who values measurable impact. Your scoreboard includes retention rates, acceleration metrics, parent satisfaction, and documented student achievements. If you seek ownership, operational complexity, and transparent accountability, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Be Doing

• Creating and iteratively improving the comprehensive virtual student journey to promote acceleration, competitive engagement, and community connection
• Analyzing student outcomes, advisor effectiveness, and parent feedback on a weekly basis to surface problems and execute rapid improvements
• Managing the performance framework of the 3× learning system, pinpointing XP shortfalls and constructing mechanisms to maintain student progression
• Collaborating with advisors to deliver cohort-specific interventions and anticipatory parent outreach before challenges intensify
• Developing advisor training, alignment, and development protocols using recorded sessions, data dashboards, and outcome indicators

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Managing a fixed program characterized by unchanging schedules and prolonged decision-making processes
• Functioning in a reactive supervisory capacity while others surface performance concerns
• Prioritizing enrollment or participation over tangible academic growth
• Generating reports that fail to result in observable improvements in student outcomes or advisor practices

Online School Director Key Responsibilities Establish and manage a scalable virtual school operation that reliably produces 3× learning gains, builds family trust, and maintains enrollment through transparent, recognized student achievement.

Basic Requirements

• Demonstrated end-to-end ownership experience operating a virtual school or online learning program
• Teaching or instructional experience with firsthand involvement in learning delivery (in-person, online, or blended formats)
• Strong analytical capability leveraging dashboards, session recordings, and feedback mechanisms to uncover underlying issues and implement corrective actions
• Track record managing distributed teams with defined expectations, accountability structures, and consistent execution
• Effective parent engagement abilities with evidence of proactive, confidence-building communication

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Experience creating motivational frameworks such as competitions, performance rankings, or community traditions that sustain student commitment
• Familiarity with innovative or AI-powered educational approaches
• Experience developing and executing quantifiable team development initiatives including training and alignment programs
