2. Program Logistics & Student Flow
Support the logistical jigsaw puzzle of camps, holiday courses, and off-campus trips, preparing printed materials and resources ahead of time.
Monitor daily schedules, classroom locations, and student transitions. You will ensure students are exactly where they need to be, safely and on time.
Ground the Explorers Hub area by organizing materials, directing students, and serving as the go-to operational point of contact during on-campus activities and off-campus trips.
3. Family & Partner Engagement
Serve as a trusted point of contact for families, handling questions regarding registrations, cancellations, payments, and logistics with deep professionalism and warmth.
Maintain steady, clear communication with external instructors and partners, keeping them informed of daily occurrences and collaborating to solve operational challenges on the fly.
Support the department's financial health by monitoring payments, tracking student updates (such as trial classes), and executing necessary financial follow-ups.
