Virtual Learning Assistant, Unbound Academy (Remote) - $40,000/year USD

This role centers on helping students feel confident, engaged, and prepared to learn—without the responsibility of designing lessons or evaluating performance.

Unbound Academy operates as a fully virtual, tuition‑free charter school that reimagines education by replacing traditional worksheets with experiential learning and prioritizing personal development. Students complete their core academics in two concentrated hours using AI‑driven platforms while the rest of the day is devoted to immersive workshops designed to cultivate essential life skills, intellectual curiosity, and self‑assurance.

In this role, you will maintain momentum and ensure seamless operations. You’ll guide students through transitions, facilitate participation in small group settings, and provide encouragement when challenges arise. While you won’t deliver academic instruction, your presence will be critical to the success of every session.

• Serving as a positive cultural presence and reliable mentor within student clubs and life‑skills programming

What You Won’t Be Doing
