Role 01
Head Educator
This is not a classroom job. It's a founding seat at a school being built from the ground up in Naples, Florida — opening August 2027. You'll lead the academic vision of a hybrid academy for grades 2–7, blending core academics with entrepreneurship, life skills, and fitness. If you've ever looked at traditional school and thought "I could build something better" — this is your invitation to do it.
The role
- Set the academic vision and culture for the Vault's founding cohort — grades 2–7, 50 founding families.
- Core academics run ~2–2.5 focused hours daily, woven together with entrepreneurship, life skills, and fitness.
- Build the school day from scratch: schedules, rhythms, rituals, and systems — no inherited bureaucracy.
- Hire and mentor the founding teaching team alongside the founders.
- Partner with families as true collaborators in their children's education.
- Start: January 2027 — founding planning months ahead of the August 2027 opening.
Who you are
- A builder, not a maintainer — you've started programs, launched initiatives, or turned around classrooms.
- Deep expertise in elementary/middle-grade learning — you know how kids actually learn, not just how curriculum says they should.
- An entrepreneur's mindset in an educator's heart — comfortable with ambiguity, energized by blank pages.
- A leader kids gravitate toward and parents trust implicitly.
- Based in (or ready to relocate to) Naples, Florida.
Compensation
Compensation is worked out after your application is accepted — based on your experience, not a fixed band. These roles are built to morph around the right person, and so is the pay.
