Welcome to Miaplaza!
Our vision is to elevate online learning by applying the most successful approaches in virtual education to create an accessible and inclusive homeschool curriculum platform where all students can be successful! MiaPrep Online High School (MOHS) is our private online high school for students grades 7-12. Formed in 2022 and accredited in 2023, we’ve grown from 80 students our first year to over 530 in 2025! Miaplaza’s leadership aims to continue this high-growth trajectory, with a goal of serving 10,000+ students in the next 5-10 years! 🚀
We’re seeking a passionate and resourceful High School Social Studies Teacher who will also serve as an Academic Advisor to a caseload of approximately 30 students. This is a fully remote, asynchronous teaching role that emphasizes student support, feedback, and mentorship rather than live instruction. Teachers at MOHS do not create lesson plans or deliver live classes; instead, they guide students through our self-paced curriculum on MiaPrep.com, providing coaching, small-group tutoring, and in-depth feedback on summative assignments.
See an example of a social studies lesson from MiaPrep:
A Day in the Role:
Grading and Feedback: Efficiently evaluate students’ assignments for various subjects, such as Economics, World History, World Geography, U.S. History, and Civics, providing comprehensive feedback to aid their learning and development.
Group Tutoring: Host weekly virtual group tutoring several times per week to clarify curriculum concepts, address questions, and offer additional support for social studies topics and assignments.
Academic Advising: Maintain a caseload of students for whom you will provide academic advising, including quarterly check-ins, and in some cases, targeted support plans.
Tiered Support: Identify struggling students and, together with the Student Support Specialist and Academic Counselors, proactively provide tiered support solutions to enhance their academic performance.
Parental and Student Communication: Act as the primary point of contact for both parents and students in academic matters in your subject area, ensuring a constructive channel of communication.
School Community Engagement: Actively participate in school initiatives and contribute to the creation and implementation of school-wide academic policies. Lead or contribute to an extracurricular club or activity that aligns with your expertise or passion.
Positive Culture Building: Uphold and contribute to our school’s positive culture and values, both among the faculty and the student body.
Ownership: Be willing to speak up when things can be improved, and willing to step up when a need is identified or support is needed within the school community.

Miaplaza provides 16 hours of floating holiday PTO per quarter. These hours allow employees to take time off for national holidays, cultural or religious observances, or other days of personal significance.
PTO is all-purpose time off, and combines traditional vacation and paid sick leave plans into one flexible, inclusive policy. Eligible employees can use PTO for all kinds of absences including: vacation, holidays, illness, injury, family leave, and other personal business. Full-time Employees receive 16 hours of floating holiday PTO per quarter and accumulate additional PTO at the rate of 1 hour per every 17 hours worked. Annually, this amounts to approximately 122 hours per year or 15 eight-hour days on average.
Parental leave, and other perks and benefits are also available.
We invite your family and friends to join our journey! All employees receive free site memberships and discounted MOHS tuition for the children in their household, plus two additional memberships for other children in their lives.
