Welcome to Miaplaza!
Miaplaza’s vision is to elevate online learning by applying the most successful approaches in virtual education to create an accessible and inclusive homeschool curriculum and online high school where all students can be successful. Our K-8 platforms include Miacademy, Always Icecream, and Clever Dragons, and our 9-12 options include MiaPrep and MiaPrep Online High School.
A Day in the Role
As a Content Moderator, you'll join our high-volume team, reviewing over 500 student posts per hour during our typical season. This rate is much higher during peak seasons. You'll be a trusted guide for students as they develop valuable social skills, while ensuring our online community is both safe and supportive.
From nicknames and statuses to articles and videos, you'll decide what goes live and what goes back to the student for revisions. You thrive when asked to interpret the "gray area" understanding there is rarely a clear right or wrong answer when moderating student content.
