What are the responsibilities and job description for the Admissions & Communication Manager position at Red Bridge?
Company Description
Red Bridge is an independent K-8 school that opened in September 2020 in San Francisco. Red Bridge was
founded as a demonstration school for a new model of education designed to foster a sense of agency in
students as opposed to traditional schools that are designed to reinforce compliance. Student ownership is
built into every system and structure of the school, so that students gradually take on more responsibility for
their learning. This puts every student on the path to becoming a lifelong learner – so that no matter what the
future looks like, they can adapt and flourish.
Educators at Red Bridge are models of lifelong learning : collaborating to design meaningful learning
experiences for students, closely observing children’s development and needs, and creating and reflecting on
innovative routines and systems. Red Bridge currently serves 54 students in the equivalent of Kindergarten –
Sixth Grade. We will continue to grow and age up with our student body until we are a full K-8 school.
