Waypoint Academy has redefined K-12 education by combining adventure-based life skills training with AI-driven adaptive academics. Students do not spend their days in traditional classrooms listening to lectures. Instead, they develop public speaking skills outdoors, cultivate leadership through group challenges, and progress academically at twice the typical pace using individualized technology.
This role is not conventional teaching. You will coach K-12 learners to unlock their capabilities through outdoor experiential sessions and one-on-one goal coaching. Your focus will be facilitating nature-based experiences that develop essential competencies—focus, communication, collaboration—rather than delivering scripted lessons. High-performing professionals who are convinced that education must fundamentally change excel in this environment. You will witness measurable, rapid transformation as students shift from disengaged participants to self-assured, capable individuals.
Dripping Springs combines Hill Country natural beauty with proximity to Austin—just 30 minutes from the city's technology hub, live music venues, and culinary scene. Expect over 300 sunny days annually, access to Barton Springs, and year-round outdoor recreation.
