Nova Pioneer Education Group is a Pan-African independent school network offering preschool through secondary education for students from ages 3 through 19. We prepare the next generation of leaders and innovators through world-class teaching methods with an emphasis on 21st century skills. We established Nova Pioneer because we believe education should prepare young people to create their future, not just work in it. Nova Pioneer is a launchpad where ambitious young Africans can begin to shape a better future for the continent and the world. We began by asking ourselves the question, “What capabilities will young people need to succeed in and shape the future that they will encounter, and what approaches to education will best develop those capabilities?” All of our founders have extensive backgrounds in education at top institutions across the globe, having studied at universities such as Harvard and Stanford and led education programs for McKinsey and Co., the African Leadership Academy, and top school networks in the US (Excel Academies).
Key responsibilities for the role include:
- Playing the role of a ‘parent’ for the students in a professional working relationship.
- Being a role model in all actions and behavior to the students.
- Defending the rights of the child.
- Creating a safe environment for teenagers to develop their emotional and social skills.
- Supervising the wellbeing, discipline and behavior of students.
- Observing emotional behavior and referring them to the school counselors.
- Maintaining cleanness in dorms.
- Report to Dean of Residential Life.
