About Primavera Online School

Primavera Online School is an accredited, tuition-free public charter school serving students across Arizona for more than 25 years. We specialize in flexible, student-centered online education designed to meet learners where they are—academically, emotionally, and socially.

We believe every student deserves access to an education that adapts to their life, not the other way around. At Primavera, we support diverse learners, empower families, and partner closely with educators to create personalized learning experiences that drive real outcomes. Our work is grounded in care, accountability, and a deep commitment to helping students succeed—both in school and beyond.

As a fully remote organization, we value clear communication, collaboration, and ownership. You’ll find a mission-driven team that takes its responsibility to students seriously while supporting one another as professionals and humans.

The Team You Will Join

You’ll be part of the Exceptional Special Services team, working closely with teachers, school leadership and counselors.
This team is responsible for ensuring students receive the appropriate services, accommodations and supports the students academically.

The team culture is collaborate, compliance-focused and mission-driven, and you’ll have opportunities to support students, and strengthen systems while partnering across Primavera Online School.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your work will directly impact students and families by ensuring IEPs and 504 plans are implemented and that students receive the service and accommodations they need to thrive.

You’ll help support learners, ensure compliance and enhance the student experience, contributing to Primavera’s mission in a meaningful and visible way.

A Typical Day Looks Like

• Write and enforce IEPs and 504s
• Collaborate with other members of the Exceptional Student Services team and General Education Instructors to ensure students are receiving the appropriate support and accommodations
• Participate in professional development and departmental meetings as needed
• Assist the Student Study Team in evaluating and monitoring students
• Perform 45-day screenings and other duties as necessary to comply with all applicable state and federal regulations
  
  

This role balances independent work and collaboration and is well-suited for someone who enjoys supporting students, managing details, communication clearly and working with purpose.

Your Expertise Includes

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Arizona Teacher Certification in Special Education
• Current valid Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card

Bonus points if you also have:

• Special Education teaching experience at the secondary level
• Minimum of at least 2 years of verified full time teaching experience in Special Education
  
  

Our Commitment to Inclusion & Belonging

At Primavera Online School, we serve a richly diverse student population—and we believe our team should reflect that same diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful workplace where all team members feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work. Diverse ideas strengthen our school, improve outcomes for students, and help us better serve the families and communities who rely on us.

All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging and purpose.

How We’ll Take Care of You

We believe that supporting our team members is essential to supporting our students. At Primavera, care, balance, and well-being are part of how we operate—not extras.

Our commitment to you includes:

• A competitive total compensation package, including medical, dental, vision, and voluntary benefits

• Generous PTO options, including unlimited PTO for exempt roles and “life happens” days when flexibility is needed
