Employment Type: Exempt / Full-Time

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.

You’ll be part of the K-5 academics team, working closely with teachers, case managers, Academic Success Coaches, instructional coaches, and school leadership.

The team culture is collaborative, supportive, fast-paced, mission-driven, and deeply focused on closing foundational literacy gaps so every student can read proficiently and confidently.

You’ll help Primavera strengthen literacy outcomes school wide, support compliance with Arizona’s Move On When Reading (MOWR) requirements.
