Programs could be held on the Keystone Science School campus or alternate locations throughout the county.


The Program Instructor is a position responsible for assisting students with virtual curriculum delivered through their school district and developing their own experiential-based lesson plans using the variety of curricula options offered by KSS. Due to the dynamic nature of balancing programming with COVID-19, Keystone Science School will need to pivot and adjust for how schools are being impacted and balance community needs. Instructors will need to show initiative, be self starters, humble, dynamic, be active problem solvers, and collaborative within a team.
