"Help tell the story of a school that doesn't exist yet — and make people wish it did when they were kids."
ISP isn't just building a school. We're building a brand that makes parents rethink everything they assumed about education, and makes student-athletes realize there's a better way.
Our social media is where that story lives — daily content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X that mixes learning science, athlete culture, Iowa pride, and the kind of content that makes people stop scrolling.
We have a content engine unlike anything in education: 600+ knowledge components across nutrition, sports psychology, financial literacy, and academics. We use AI to generate images, draft posts, and analyze performance. Your canvas is massive, your tools are cutting-edge, and your audience is every Iowa family with a student-athlete.
You'll produce daily posts — myth vs. reality cards, quick-tip graphics, athlete spotlights, carousel breakdowns of learning science concepts, and behind-the-scenes content. Every post teaches something real while building the ISP brand.
ISP launches Fall 2026. Your job is to make Iowa families feel like they're already part of something. Engage with comments, DMs, local sports communities. Find the conversations happening about school choice, ESAs, and student-athlete life — and bring ISP's voice to them.
We practice what we preach. ISP's learning model is built on the 4 E's: Experiment (try formats), Explain (articulate why things work), Expense (analyze the cost/ROI), External (teach others what you learned). This isn't a "post and pray" internship — it's a masterclass in content strategy.
ISP uses AI-powered content generation, batch image creation, and analytics dashboards. You'll get hands-on experience with tools most interns only read about — OpenAI image generation, automated content pipelines, knowledge graph-driven content strategy.
ISP's tone is direct, research-backed, and athlete-native. Not corporate. Not preachy. Not "Hello, fellow kids." You'll help define what that sounds like across platforms — and your best ideas will become the standard.

Rolling applications. Start date flexible — immediate for the right person.
Send an email with links to your social media accounts, content you've created, or a portfolio. Tell us which ISP topic (nutrition, sports psych, financial literacy, academics) you'd most want to create content about — and why.
We'll give you one ISP knowledge component (a real fact from our curriculum) and ask you to create 2-3 posts for different platforms. No rules on format — carousel, Reel, thread, infographic — whatever you think works best. This is how we see your creative instincts.
Walk us through your content challenge choices. Why that format? Who's the audience? What would you test next? We're not looking for the "right" answer — we're looking for someone who thinks about content strategically, not just aesthetically.
Step 1 is just an email. Tell us who you are, why ISP excites you, and what you'd bring. No cover letter template. Just be real.
