Waypoint Academy is redefining education by replacing static lectures with experiential life-skills training and AI-driven personalized academics. Students do not spend their days in chairs listening to presentations—they develop public speaking skills outdoors, cultivate leadership through group challenges, and progress at 2× the pace using intelligent, adaptive technology.
This role is not traditional teaching. It is coaching K-12 learners to unlock their capabilities through outdoor experiences and structured goal-setting. You will facilitate nature-driven activities that develop tangible competencies (concentration, communication, collaboration), not deliver standard lessons. High-caliber professionals who believe education must be fundamentally redesigned will excel here. You will witness students evolve from disengaged participants to self-assured achievers—the results are measurable and immediate.
Dripping Springs delivers Texas Hill Country scenery just 30 minutes from Austin's innovation hub, vibrant music scene, and culinary landscape. Over 300 days of sunshine annually, proximity to Barton Springs, and year-round outdoor recreation.
Shape the journey. Drive the transformation. Apply today.
