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

Many virtual schools mistake availability for rigor. They provide online instruction. They do not provide results. GT School operates under a different model. We support Gifted & Talented students in grades K–8 using AI-driven curriculum and mentorship held to exacting standards. We are now expanding our virtual offering to enable families everywhere to access GT-level advancement. This position is designed to establish a virtual school model that is academically demanding, credible, and demonstrably effective. You will control the entire operational framework of the virtual program. This spans student journey architecture, advisor accountability systems, targeted cohort support, and family confidence. No established blueprint exists. You will analyze performance data, implement rapid course corrections, engage directly in live sessions when required, and create the infrastructure that makes consistent 3× learning gains achievable at scale. This is an operational leadership role for someone who values measurable impact. Your scorecard will be retention rates, learning acceleration, parent satisfaction, and documented student achievement. If you seek independence, intellectual challenge, and direct ownership, this is your opportunity. What You Will Be Doing

• Architecting and iterating the complete virtual student journey to maximize acceleration, healthy competition, and community connection
• Analyzing student outcomes, advisor effectiveness, and family feedback on a weekly cadence to surface problems and drive immediate corrections
• Managing execution of the 3× learning framework, tracking XP progression and constructing systems to maintain student momentum
• Collaborating with advisors to deploy cohort-based interventions and preemptive parent outreach before concerns intensify
• Creating advisor training, calibration, and development protocols informed by session data, performance dashboards, and outcome metrics

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Running a standardized program with predetermined schedules and lengthy approval processes
• Relying on others to surface performance concerns while you remain removed from operations
• Prioritizing enrollment or participation metrics over verifiable academic growth
• Generating reports that fail to produce concrete improvements in student outcomes or team execution
