Montverde Academy is a coeducational independent school that serves grades Pre-K3–12. Our boarding program serves grades 7-12 and post-graduate studies. At the heart of an MVA experience is an engaging and challenging academic environment that inspires students to achieve at the highest level. Inside and outside of the classroom, students develop their talents and abilities through involvement in fine arts, athletics, school clubs, and service organizations. Our staff members, parents and students are part of a close-knit, deeply caring community. We emphasize positive relationships that help build self-esteem and confidence in our students, where each individual feels like a valued community member. We enjoy cultural diversity unlike any other school as we attract students from around the world. With more than 75 nationalities represented by students, our international character adds an exciting global perspective to our community and the educational experience we provide.
The SIMA Staff Coach will work alongside SIMA staff coaches and the SIMA Methodology Coordinator to ensure that the day-to-day operations of the SIMA program are implemented according to the agreed upon strategy while continuing to support the overall mission of Montverde Academy. The primary role is to plan and lead team sessions for the student-athletes within the SIMA program. The goal is to become a valuable resource for the students, parents and staff of the SIMA program as they will consistently interact with all three groups in this role. The aim is for the Staff Coach to offer the necessary support to each participant to help them succeed and ultimately realize their potential.
