About Waypoint Academy Waypoint Academy is redefining education by substituting traditional lectures with adventure-driven life-skills development and AI-powered personalized academics. Students don't remain seated while instructors lecture—they develop public speaking abilities on hiking trails, cultivate leadership during group challenges, and progress academically at twice the typical pace through adaptive technology.
Position Overview This position is not conventional teaching. You'll be coaching K-12 learners to unlock their capabilities via outdoor workshops and motivational goal-setting sessions. Your focus is facilitating nature-based experiences that cultivate practical competencies (concentration, communication, collaboration), not delivering standard curriculum. Individuals committed to high performance who envision a fundamentally reimagined school model excel in this environment. You'll witness measurable, immediate transformation as students shift from hesitant learners to self-assured achievers.
Location Dripping Springs provides Hill Country scenery just 30 minutes from Austin's technology hub, renowned live music, and culinary scene. Enjoy over 300 sunny days annually, Barton Springs access, and year-round outdoor recreation.
What You Will Be Doing
Facilitating 1-hour outdoor life-skills workshops (communication, concentration, leadership, collaboration) via nature-based challenges and adventure-style programming
Conducting brief, results-focused motivation sessions where you guide students toward academic objectives using adaptive technology
Animating curriculum through storytelling, tailored approaches, and dynamic energy that sustains high engagement among K-12 learners
Implementing safety procedures and outdoor decision-making (trail planning, weather assessment, equipment inspection, Leave No Trace fundamentals) according to Waypoint's operational standards
Evaluating skill acquisition by having students demonstrate practical application of life skills in authentic scenarios
Maintaining rigorous standards of excellence while serving as an approachable, motivating mentor students genuinely respect
Basic Requirements
Bachelor's degree in any subject
Minimum 3 years of experience working with K-12 students in school, camp, coaching, or outdoor programs
Proven track record of high achievement (academically, athletically, or professionally)
Compelling public speaker who can energize and hold attention for large groups of students, indoors and outdoors
Natural ability to relate to K-12 learners, their interests, and culture, not as a "buddy" but as a positive role model who pushes them to grow
Legal right to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
Willingness to work in-person at Waypoint Academy's campus in Dripping Springs, TX (near Austin)
Nice-to-have Requirements
First aid or wilderness safety training
Job Details This is a full-time (40 hours per week), long-term position. The position is immediately available and requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record. The compensation level for this role is $50 USD/hour, which equates to $100,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. The payment period is weekly.
