Education Centre Director (Syros)

👋About Boundless Life

Boundless empowers remote workers to experience - with their families - the nomad lifestyle many people without children have been enjoying for years. It creates a complete "live abroad" immersive experience for families looking to get the most of what the digital age and the world can offer.

Through premium kid-friendly lodging and a cutting-edge education system that follows the children wherever they go, Boundless brings together a community of like-minded families who want to explore the planet while working remotely and having a positive impact on their lives and the world.

Since we were founded in 2021, we have quickly grown to 5 locations across two continents and close to 100 team members of different nationalities.  

We’re continuing to grow at a fast pace. We’re growing in new locations, and have ambitious goals to empower people to have more fulfilling lives by designing a lifestyle enabling balance, growth and deeper connections with ourselves, our families, nature and the world.
