About This Role

We are seeking a high-caliber Academic Accreditation & Secondary Program Designer to lead our "Credit for Advancement" initiative across California.

• Direct the institutional accreditation process for the California region (specifically WASC and Cognia), managing self-studies, site visits, and annual reporting.
• Act as the subject matter expert on California Education Code regarding Credit by Examination and Alternative Credit Options.
• Standardize transcript generation and student record-keeping to ensure seamless credit transferability to California school district SIS (Student Information Systems).

3. Accredited Teacher Training & Certification

• Establish and monitor teacher evaluation frameworks required by accreditation bodies to maintain high instructional quality.
• Oversee the professional development (PD) hours and certification tracking for our secondary school faculty.

4. Institutional Relations & California Parent Advocacy

• Build strategic partnerships with California School Districts (LEAs) to establish formal Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for credit recognition.
• Empower parents across California by creating "Credit Advancement Guidebooks" and hosting webinars on how to navigate the credit transfer process with school counselors.
• Provide direct advocacy support for students seeking to place into advanced math tracks using Think Academy credits.

• Educational Background: Master's degree in School Administration, Curriculum & Instruction, or a related field.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep expertise in California secondary education requirements, including UC A-G, WASC accreditation, and CA CCSS.
• Bilingual Proficiency: Professional working proficiency in English is required.

• Prior experience as a California School Principal, Assistant Principal, or Registrar.
• Direct experience leading a school through a successful WASC accreditation cycle.
• Existing network within major California school districts (e.g., LAUSD, SFUSD, San Jose Unified).

• Pioneering Work: You will define the standard for how supplemental Ed-Tech programs integrate with the California public school system.
• Scalability: While starting in California, your work will serve as the blueprint for our national accreditation strategy.
