About Williamsburg Learning

Williamsburg Learning is an educational services provider that partners with schools like Williamsburg Academy of Colorado and Leadership Academy of Utah to deliver online and in-person learning experiences that prepare students for meaningful lives as principled leaders.

We believe in classical education, personal growth, and human connection—and we bring those values to life through every Adventure.

Why This Role Exists

Our Outdoor Adventures course is an experiential PE class for students in grades 6–12, featuring hands-on activities like hiking, skiing, canoeing, snowshoeing, rock climbing, and survival skills.
