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

Most virtual schools mistake availability for quality. They provide online instruction. They do not provide results.

GT School operates on a different model. We support Gifted & Talented K–8 learners using AI-enhanced curriculum and high-expectation mentorship. We are now expanding our virtual offering to enable families to access GT-level advancement regardless of location. This position is designed to create a virtual school model that is demanding, credible, and demonstrably effective.

You will manage the complete operational framework of the virtual program. This includes designing student engagement, overseeing advisor effectiveness, executing cohort-level interventions, and maintaining parent confidence. There is no established manual to follow. You will assess performance, execute rapid course corrections, engage directly in live sessions when required, and establish the systems that make 3× learning gains sustainable.

This is a hands-on role for someone who values clear performance indicators. Retention rates, learning velocity, parent satisfaction, and tangible student achievement are the measures. If you value independence, challenge, and direct accountability, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing and iteratively improving the complete virtual student journey to promote acceleration, competition, and community
• Analyzing student outcomes, advisor effectiveness, and parent feedback on a weekly basis to identify problems and execute rapid adjustments
• Managing the performance framework of the 3× learning system, spotting XP deficits and creating structures to maintain student progress
• Collaborating with advisors to deploy cohort-specific interventions and proactive family outreach before challenges grow
• Developing advisor training, alignment, and development systems leveraging session reviews, data dashboards, and performance indicators

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Managing a static program with unchanging procedures and prolonged decision timelines
• Functioning in passive supervision while performance concerns are raised by others
• Prioritizing attendance metrics over verifiable academic growth
• Creating reports that fail to result in concrete improvements to student outcomes or advisor practices

Virtual School Director Key Responsibilities Design and manage a scalable virtual school program that reliably produces 3× learning gains, builds parent confidence, and maintains family retention through transparent, recognized student achievement.

Basic Requirements

• Demonstrated ownership experience managing a virtual school or online learning program from end to end
• Teaching or instructional experience with firsthand involvement in learning delivery (in-person, online, or blended)
• Strong analytical capability using dashboards, session recordings, and feedback mechanisms to pinpoint root causes and implement solutions
• Experience managing remote teams with defined expectations, accountability, and consistent execution
• Strong parent engagement skills with a history of proactive, confidence-building communication

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Experience creating engagement frameworks such as competitions, leaderboards, or community practices that sustain student motivation
• Background in progressive or AI-integrated learning approaches
• Experience building and executing measurable team development programs including onboarding and calibration frameworks
