Distance Learning Solutions Inc. contracts with Fossil School District 21J to run the educational services as the Fossil Distance Learning Program for their virtual school students. We seek creative and tenacious individuals to help us deliver on our proven system of driving success through service.

Service is at the heart of what we do. At Distance Learning Solutions Inc., you will be among real people who care about their customers and their colleagues. In our system, we prioritize service by making sure the details are done and done well - every time. We make promises, and we keep those promises. We recognize that our students and families don’t have to choose us. Thus, service is the bedrock of everything we do. It’s embedded deep within our culture. White-glove service with a smile is an expectation of every employee.

At Distance Learning Solutions Inc., you’ll be a part of a system that works. You’ll learn and then implement that system making you and us special in the eyes of our students and families. You’ll sleep better knowing you make a difference in the lives of thousands of people. You’ll bring access to our innovative educational model to thousands of students. You’ll do this amongst a supportive community of people who care. In return, you’ll care. You’ll show you care by learning our system, being teachable, and using that system to drive positive academic results. You’ll do this not only by doing your job well but by valuing relationships - with customers and with colleagues. You’ll achieve your goals by helping others achieve theirs.

Working at Distance Learning Solutions Inc. isn’t for everyone. But for those who commit to working hard, who value self-motivation, and who prioritize service, students, and colleagues, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience. Employee turnover at Distance Learning Solutions Inc. is very low, as employees tend to stay with our company for extended periods and express high satisfaction, loyalty, and engagement.

You’ll make connections every day using chat, email, text messages, zoom, and telephone calls.  You’ll leverage your knowledge of your subject matter, your skills as an educator, and your mastery of Google Apps for Education, learning management systems, and modern communication tools to drive personalized learning experiences that yield strong academic results. Your innovation will maximize student engagement and knowledge acquisition, yet you’ll frequently forgo technology to provide support to students and parents using telephone calls from someone who cares.
