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 culture is collaborative, supportive, fast-paced, mission-driven, compliance-focused, and you’ll have opportunities to learn, grow, improve systems, support students, and strengthen operations while partnering across Primavera Online School.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your work will directly impact students, families, teachers, school operations, compliance, and outcomes by either maintaining or increasing Primavera’s B school letter grade.

You’ll help support learners, improve processes, ensure compliance, enhance student experience, and drive academic success, contributing to Primavera’s mission in a meaningful and visible way.

Our Commitment to Inclusion & Belonging
