Virtual School Director, gt.school (Remote) - $200,000/year USD
Crossover, Chicago, IL, United States
Most virtual schools mistake availability for quality. They provide online coursework. They do not provide results.
GT School is constructed on a different foundation. We work with Gifted & Talented students in grades K–8 using AI-driven instruction and high-expectation mentorship. We are now expanding our virtual offering to enable families to access GT-caliber acceleration regardless of location. This position is designed to create a virtual school model that is demanding, credible, and demonstrably effective.
You will control the complete operational framework of the virtual program. This encompasses experience architecture for students, performance oversight of advisors, targeted cohort strategies, and cultivation of parent confidence. No established blueprint exists. You will conduct system analyses, execute rapid iterations, participate directly in live instruction when necessary, and establish the protocols that make 3× learning gains sustainable.
This is a creation role for someone who values measurement. Retention rates, acceleration metrics, parent trust levels, and observable student achievements define success. If you seek independence, challenge, and transparent accountability, this is your opportunity.
What You Will Be Doing
Architect virtual student journey to generate acceleration, competitive energy, and community connection
Analyze student outcomes, advisor effectiveness, and parent feedback weekly to surface problems and deploy rapid corrections
Control performance management of the 3× learning framework, spot XP deficits and create systems to maintain student progress
Collaborate with advisors to deliver cohort‑specific interventions and proactive family outreach before concerns intensify
Construct advisor onboarding, alignment, and development systems leveraging session data, dashboards, and outcome indicators
What You Won’t Be Doing
Managing a fixed program with unchanging procedures and extended decision timelines
Engaging in distant supervision while others detect performance challenges
Prioritizing participation metrics over concrete academic gains
Generating reports that fail to produce tangible shifts in student outcomes or advisor practice
Virtual School Director Key Responsibilities Design and manage a scalable virtual school system that reliably produces 3× learning outcomes, builds parent confidence, and sustains enrollment through transparent, recognized student achievement.
Basic Requirements
Demonstrated ownership experience managing a virtual school or online learning program from start to finish
Teaching or instructional foundation with hands‑on involvement in learning execution (in‑person, online, or blended)
Advanced diagnostic capability using dashboards, session recordings, and feedback mechanisms to pinpoint underlying issues and implement fixes
Track record leading distributed teams with defined expectations, accountability structures, and consistent execution
Effective parent engagement skills with proven success in proactive, confidence‑building communication
Nice‑to‑have Requirements
Experience creating engagement mechanisms such as competitions, leaderboards, or community traditions that sustain student motivation
Familiarity with progressive or AI‑enhanced learning frameworks
Experience building and executing quantifiable staff development initiatives including onboarding and alignment programs
