    LIVING AT IMAGINE SCHOLAR

    Working with 50ish students on a daily basis, our work is quite social in its nature! So some staff prefer to use their evenings independently reading, watching movies, cooking, and/or recharging
    For other times one is looking to be social: we have up to 7 staff at a time on site, thus can frequently be found doing potlucks, movie nights, sunset chats on the deck, and or going out to dinner together. There is usually one person going into town a week, and a bi-weekly poker game at a local dive bar.
    You’ll be staying at our ed center – our main education hall that includes three dormitory rooms, a communal kitchen and a communal bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are shared with students when on site.

    WHO YOU’LL BE WORKING WITH:

    Our team on the ground comes from a variety of backgrounds and boasts an array of passions.
    Ayanna – cares too much about punctuation and syntax, loves to travel, eat and wait for her faves to show up on Kindle Daily Deals
    John – minimalist in training, math geek, lover of hot weather and short shorts, and is known to finish almost any leftovers
    Corey – top chef trainee, video game lover, backpacking and hiking guide and entrepreneur
    Meg N – lover of oolong tea, cognitive science nerd, aspiring sleep coach, and known to take days off when her favorite YA books are released
