Student Success Coach

About the Team

The Virtual Preparatory Academy of Missouri at Atlanta is a tuition-free virtual public school serving grades K-11. We believe every student deserves an opportunity to be understood , inspired, and successful in a safe and nurturing environment.

The Student Success Coach manages the delivery and implementation of onboarding, core interventions, and support services for assigned students in accordance with Student Services initiatives and guidelines. The Success coach serves as the primary contact for new students and families, communicating frequently and addressing questions or concerns to ensure a strong start to school. This role also provides oversight of educational interventions and supports to targeted student populations to assist with increased engagement, student learning outcomes, and successful completion of school (or grade level standards).

Please note – while this is an online school position and all instruction occurs virtually, travel and face to face attendance will be required several times per year to support in person state testing and student events.
