Virtual Student Mentor, Unbound Academy - $60,000/year USD

Crossover
Surprise, AZ Full Time
POSTED ON 4/25/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/19/2026
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a hybrid position requiring physical presence in Arizona.

Seeking licensed educators prepared to shift from managing classrooms to transforming student lives.

What if your role no longer centered on lesson planning, lectures, or grading assignments—but was instead dedicated entirely to mentoring young people into confident, capable individuals?

Unbound Academy redefines education intentionally. This hybrid position supports a fully virtual, tuition-free Arizona charter school that exchanges worksheets for experiential learning and prioritizes personal development. Students work through core academics independently via AI-powered platforms in two concentrated hours daily. Their remaining time is dedicated to cultivating practical skills through facilitated workshops, coaching sessions, and exploratory activities.

You won't be delivering predetermined lessons or monitoring a virtual classroom. You'll be facilitating high-energy online sessions that push students to think critically, create, collaborate, and mature. You'll guide them through storytelling, entrepreneurship, wellness, and problem-solving while fostering independence, confidence, and executive functioning skills.

This position is not designed for educators attempting to recreate conventional schooling through Zoom. It's for licensed teachers willing to relocate to Arizona, operate within a hybrid framework, and support students in ways that genuinely prepare them for life. If you're finished with classroom busywork and prepared to pursue the most impactful work of your career, continue reading.
