WELCOME TO MASTERMINDS PALO ALTO
A new kind of school is coming to Palo Alto—a K–8 accelerated microschool distinctly tailored to each child's unique needs and aspirations. Inspired by the successful Masterminds model in Dubai, our mission is to create an educational experience that blends academic excellence with real-world learning and community connection.
Our school is a basecamp for exploration, turning the entire Bay Area — with its rich cultural landscape, pioneering spirit of science and innovation, and endless opportunities for adventure, from tennis and golf to sailing and hiking — into our field of study, work, and play.
This is a rare opportunity to join as a founding faculty member and help shape a dynamic learning environment from the ground up. You’ll work alongside a team that values creativity, courage, and community, building a program that empowers children to think deeply, solve real problems, and love their learning journey. This is a foundational role, with potential to grow into a school leadership position as Masterminds expands to multiple locations in the Bay Area.
WHAT MAKES MASTERMINDS DIFFERENT
At Masterminds, we believe education should be an adventure — one that challenges, excites, and prepares students for the real world. Our school is built on a few core pillars:
