Waypoint Academy is redefining education by swapping traditional lectures for adventure-driven life skills and AI-powered personalized academics. Students don't remain seated while an instructor talks—they develop public speaking skills outdoors, cultivate leadership through collaborative challenges, and progress at twice the typical pace using tailored software.
This role is not conventional teaching. You will coach K-12 students toward unlocking their capabilities via outdoor workshops and motivational goal-setting sessions. You will facilitate nature-based experiences that cultivate tangible skills (concentration, communication, collaboration), rather than deliver standard curriculum. High-performing individuals who envision a radically transformed school model excel in this environment. You will witness students evolve from hesitant learners into self-assured achievers—measurably and in real time.
Dripping Springs provides Hill Country scenery just 30 minutes from Austin's technology hub, live music venues, and culinary scene. Over 300 sunny days annually, proximity to Barton Springs, and year-round outdoor recreation.
Coach the transformation. Lead the experience. Apply today.
