About SailFuture Academy

SailFuture Academy is a purposefully disruptive, non-profit private high school in St. Petersburg, Florida, serving youth who have faced significant challenges.

As a nonprofit organization, we are reimagining education to empower students with the character, skills, and real-world experiences they need to achieve economic freedom and social mobility.

Our students don’t just learn—they build, lead, create, and grow. We are searching for an individual passionate about transformative education, community impact, and working alongside a team that truly cares.

About the Role

The Dean of Students plays a pivotal role in shaping a positive, supportive, and high-expectation culture across our campus.

You'll be a driving force behind student growth—emotionally, socially, and academically—and will help students navigate their journeys toward adulthood and independence.

This is more than a job; it’s a chance to be part of a team that believes every young person deserves to thrive.
