About Sankofa Montessori

Sankofa Montessori embarked on its educational journey as a public charter school, receiving its charter from the Georgia State Charter School Commission in 2021. We officially opened our doors in July 2023, starting our adventure with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades. As we chart our course, we added a 3rd grade in our second year, added a 4th grade in our third year, and will be adding 5th grade during the upcoming school year, school year 26-27.

Our mission is to empower children with the knowledge, skills, and agency needed to lead purposeful lives. Join our team and help us continue to chart our course.

At Sankofa Montessori, we bridge standards-based instruction with the Montessori approach. We are seeking a highly skilled, Orton-Gillingham (OG) certified Reading Interventionist to serve as a part-time literacy contractor. The interventionist will provide targeted Tier 2 OG-based reading intervention, coach teaching assistants who are implementing OG lessons, and support the school in strengthening structured literacy practices. This role focuses on both direct student intervention and professional support for staff to ensure fidelity to the OG methodology.

If you think you could be the right fit for this role, we invite you to apply.
