Admissions Associate

Waypoint is expanding what school can look like. Through an outdoor, experience-driven model, students build independence, resilience, and real-world capability alongside strong academic outcomes.


In this role, you will guide families from first inquiry through enrollment, ensuring every interaction reflects clarity, responsiveness, and professionalism. You will manage day-to-day communication, coordinate admissions events, and maintain accurate records that support confident decisions. This is a role where details matter, and follow-through is visible.


This is a fully on-site role based at our campus in Dripping Springs, Texas. You will be on campus every day - greeting families, hosting shadow days and info sessions, and working shoulder to shoulder with campus staff to help families understand a model that is different from traditional school environments. Your ability to communicate clearly, stay organized, and create a smooth, well-run experience will directly impact enrollment and family trust.


If you are highly responsive, detail-oriented, and take ownership of outcomes, this role offers the opportunity to contribute to a growing, mission-driven school while building strong operational and communication skills.
