School Counselor - High 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.

In this role, your work will directly impact students, families, and school operations by supporting student academic progress, strengthening engagement, and providing timely interventions that promote success in an online learning environment.

While no two days are exactly the same, you can expect to

• Provide academic, social-emotional, and college/career counseling support to assigned students and families
• Monitor student progress, engagement, and attendance while providing proactive outreach and interventions
• Support MTSS processes, documentation, and referrals to ensure students receive timely, appropriate supports
• Collaborate regularly with teachers, academic teams, special education, and leadership through meetings and cross-functional communication
• Utilize platforms such as LMS, PowerSchool, SchooLinks, email/phone systems, and internal dashboards to track progress and support student success
• This position requires availability to work core business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Arizona time, Monday through Friday.
• Must be available to work in person for approximately six weeks each year to support Arizona state testing, including travel to assigned testing locations.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Valid Arizona School Counselor Certification and relevant counseling experience in K-12 education
• Valid IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card
• Strong knowledge of comprehensive school counseling practices, student development, and academic planning
• Excellent communication, organization, and case management skills in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to build relationships with students and families while providing proactive, solutions-focused support
• Comfort using student information systems, learning management systems, and data to guide outreach and interventions (PowerSchool, LMS platforms, SchooLinks, Microsoft/Google tools)

• Experience in an online and/or alternative education setting
• Knowledge of MTSS systems, 504 processes, special education collaboration, and college/career readiness programming
  
  

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.

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
• Well-being support that fits real life—from virtual wellness programs and wellness coaching to flexible work options for select roles
• Generous PTO options, including unlimited PTO for exempt roles and “life happens” days when flexibility is needed
• A fully paid holiday week off at Christmas to rest, reset, and recharge
• Recognition and rewards that celebrate birthdays, meaningful milestones, and the important work you do for students and families
• Quarterly Town Halls to keep communication transparent, aligned, and human
• Annual events and traditions that help us stay connected as a remote school community
  
  

We’re intentional about creating a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and proud of the impact they make—every day.

We welcome all qualified candidates eligible to work in the United States.  At this time, we are unable to sponsor visas.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and provide consideration to all applicants regardless of race, religion, color, sex, gender, national origin, age, veteran status, marital status, or disability protected by law.
