Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This hybrid position requires you to be physically located in Arizona.
Licensed educators seeking to shift from classroom administration to transformational mentorship—this is for you.
Imagine a role where your focus isn't on lesson planning, lecturing, or grading—but instead on guiding young people to become self-assured, competent individuals.
Unbound Academy reimagines what teaching means. This hybrid position supports a tuition-free, fully virtual charter school in Arizona that trades traditional worksheets for experiential learning and prioritizes personal development. Students handle core academics autonomously with AI-powered platforms in two concentrated hours each day. The remaining time is dedicated to cultivating practical skills through structured workshops, one-on-one coaching, and exploratory activities.
Your role will not involve delivering pre-written lessons or monitoring a virtual classroom. Instead, you'll facilitate dynamic online sessions that push students to think critically, create, collaborate, and mature. You'll guide them through storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness practices, and problem-solving while fostering independence, self-confidence, and executive function skills.
This opportunity is not suited for educators attempting to recreate conventional schooling via Zoom. It's designed for licensed teachers prepared to relocate to Arizona, embrace a hybrid working model, and mentor students in ways that genuinely equip them for the real world. If you've grown weary of classroom administrative tasks and are ready to undertake the most impactful work of your teaching career, continue reading.
