Join Novatio School, the pioneering virtual bilingual immersion institution, as we transform the educational landscape for Latino-Hispanic families. Our innovative approach offers a culturally rich and adaptable learning environment that fosters both academic success and cultural pride.
We're searching for a dynamic community leader who deeply understands the values and dreams of Latino-Hispanic families in Arizona. This role transcends traditional outreach; it's about becoming a genuine advocate and a respected voice in the community. You are well-connected with local families, cultural leaders, and organizations, and you're driven by the desire to create educational pathways that honor their unique narratives.
At Novatio School, you will spearhead family and community engagement, forge strong relationships, and guide families toward an educational journey that celebrates their cultural identity. If you're passionate about championing educational equity and helping families find a school that truly embraces their heritage, we are eager to meet you.

- Being Desk-Bound: This role requires active participation and visibility within the community.
- Concentrating Solely on Enrollment Numbers: Your mission is to cultivate a community of empowered families, not just to boost enrollment.
- Overseeing Academic Operations: Your focus will be on family engagement and community bonds, not on managing educational processes.
- Employing Generic Messaging: Every interaction should be tailored to reflect the unique values and experiences of Latino-Hispanic families.
