Head of Virtual Learning, gt.school (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

Many virtual schools prioritize access over achievement. They provide online instruction. They do not provide results.

GT School operates on a different model. We support Gifted & Talented students in grades K–8 using AI-enhanced instruction and elevated mentorship standards. 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 learning environment that is demanding, reliable, and demonstrably exceptional.

You will manage the complete operational framework of the virtual offering. This encompasses student journey architecture, advisor effectiveness oversight, targeted cohort responses, and family confidence building. There is no established blueprint in place. You will conduct performance reviews, execute rapid course corrections, participate directly in live sessions when required, and establish the frameworks that make 3× learning gains sustainable.

This is a foundational role for someone who values clear measurement. Key indicators include retention rates, learning acceleration, family confidence levels, and tangible student achievements. If you seek independence, operational complexity, and direct accountability, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Be Doing

• Architecting and iteratively improving the complete virtual student journey to accelerate learning, foster competition, and build community
• Analyzing student outcomes, advisor effectiveness, and family feedback on a weekly basis to identify deficiencies and execute rapid improvements
• Managing the operational integrity of the 3× learning framework, spotting XP deficits and creating systems to maintain student trajectory
• Collaborating with advisors to deploy cohort-specific interventions and anticipatory family outreach before challenges intensify
• Developing advisor training, alignment, and development frameworks using recorded sessions, analytics dashboards, and performance indicators

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Managing a stable program with predictable routines and extended decision timelines
• Taking a hands-off approach while waiting for others to surface performance concerns
• Prioritizing participation metrics over concrete academic progress
• Generating insights that fail to result in observable improvements in student outcomes or advisor practices
