About Primavera Online School

Primavera Online School is an accredited, tuition-free public charter school serving students across Arizona for more than 25 years. We specialize in flexible, student-centered online education designed to meet learners where they are—academically, emotionally, and socially.

We believe every student deserves access to an education that adapts to their life, not the other way around. At Primavera, we support diverse learners, empower families, and partner closely with educators to create personalized learning experiences that drive real outcomes. Our work is grounded in care, accountability, and a deep commitment to helping students succeed—both in school and beyond.

As a fully remote organization, we value clear communication, collaboration, and ownership. You’ll find a mission-driven team that takes its responsibility to students seriously while supporting one another as professionals and humans.

The Team You Will Join

You’ll be part of the Adjunct Teacher team, working closely with teachers and the Adjunct Coordinator. This team is responsible for delivering flexible, standards-aligned instruction that supports students.

The team culture is collaborative and mission-driven, and you’ll have opportunities to support students and contribute to strong academic outcomes while partnering across Primavera Online School.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your work will directly impact students by providing flexible, high-quality instruction that supports course completion and academic growth.

You’ll help drive student success and enhance the overall learning experience, contributing to Primavera’s mission in a meaningful and visible way.

A Typical Day Looks Like

While no two days are the same, you can expect to:

• Design and deliver engaging, standards-aligned instruction in a virtual environment
• Use formative and summative data to monitor student progress and adjust instruction as needed
• Provide timely grading and meaningful feedback on student work
• Communicate proactively with students and families regarding progress, attendance, and engagement
• Maintain accurate records of grades, attendance, and student documentation in school systems
• Support students with IEP and 504 plans in alignment with required accommodations
• Uphold school policies and maintain a safe, respectful learning environment
• Maintain virtual office hours based on course load and participate in required professional development
  
  

This role balances independent work and collaboration and is well-suited for someone who enjoys supporting students, managing their time effectively, and communicating clearly with purpose.

Your Expertise Includes

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Arizona Standard Professional 6-12 Teacher Certification with Science Endorsement Required
• Current valid Fingerprint Clearance Card
• Teaching experience at the secondary education level required
  
  

Bonus points if you also have:

• Experience in online education
• Strong organizational, communication, and time-management skills in a virtual setting
• A collaborative mindset, professionalism, and the ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment
  
  

Our Commitment to Inclusion & Belonging

At Primavera Online School, we serve a richly diverse student population—and we believe our team should reflect that same diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful workplace where all team members feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work. Diverse ideas strengthen our school, improve outcomes for students, and help us better serve the families and communities who rely on us.

All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging and purpose.

How We’ll Take Care of You

We believe that supporting our team members is essential to supporting our students. At Primavera, care, balance, and well-being are part of how we operate—not extras.

Our commitment to you includes:

• A competitive total compensation package, including medical, dental, vision, and voluntary benefits
• Well-being support that fits real life—from virtual wellness programs and wellness coaching to flexible work options for select roles
• Generous PTO options, including unlimited PTO for exempt roles and “life happens” days when flexibility is needed
• A fully paid holiday week off at Christmas to rest, reset, and recharge
• Recognition and rewards that celebrate birthdays, meaningful milestones, and the important work you do for students and families
• Quarterly Town Halls to keep communication transparent, aligned, and human
• Annual events and traditions that help us stay connected as a remote school community
  
  

We’re intentional about creating a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and proud of the impact they make—every day.
