Bridge International Academies is a for-profit business whose mission is to revolutionize access to affordable high-quality primary education for poor families across Africa. Founded in 2007 by Jay Kimmelman, Phil Frei and Shannon May, the company opened the first academy in its franchise-like network of ultra low costs private primary schools in 2009. Its academies profitably deliver high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, enabling local academy managers to operate their academy profitably, while creating a highly successful business at the central level. Bridge International Academies is a privately funded company whose lead investors are Learn Capital and Omidyar Network.

From January 2009 to January 2012, Bridge Internationa Academies has grown from 1 to 60 academies, from 10 to over 1000 employees, and from 150 to over 15,000 students. The company is agressively hiring in all department -- everything from from instruction to operations to software development. Our current job openings are published online where applications are accepted electronically. All positions currently are based in Nairobi, Kenya.
