Job description
Do you love working with elementary children? Do you want to become trained in the Montessori Method? Come work with us at Guidepost Montessori in Aldie, VA!
We are hiring a Part Time Assistant Teacher who is excited to participate in our in-house Montessori Elementary Training Program in preparation for becoming a future lead guide. We have an amazing team of Montessori Mentors who will be available to lead professional development, provide feedback, and help develop your skills as you refine your practice. This is also an opportunity to be mentored by a phenomenal team of lead elementary guides, running one of the best Montessori elementary classrooms in the country.
Our elementary program is truly unique: a mixed-aged Montessori community, with first through third graders learning alongside one another in a rich social environment. It continues the Montessori approach of practiced autonomy and self-mastery; of highly individualized lessons and extended periods of concentrated work. Within that framework, we embed a sequence of classical academic content in the humanities and the sciences. Learn more about our approach to elementary education here.
