Montessori Lead Elementary Guide; Teacher

Are you a passionate, Montessori-trained teacher? Do you want to be part of a team working to grow the Montessori movement? Join our team and lead your own Elementary classroom in one of our beautiful CA campuses.

In this role, you'll create and lead a model classroom. Your efforts will demonstrate to parents what is possible for their child when authentic, high-quality Montessori education is alive and well in a prepared environment. You will be provided with a full set of high-quality materials from leading manufacturers, along with a classroom budget to make your classroom unique.

We have an amazing team of AMI-trained Montessori Mentors who will be available to lead professional development, provide feedback, and help develop your skills further.

We offer competitive salaries, health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as a generous tuition discount. Immigration assistance and visa sponsorship are available for guides coming from other countries.

Our elementary program is truly unique: a mixed-aged Montessori community with first through sixth graders learning alongside one another in a rich social environment. It continues the Montessori approach of practiced autonomy and self-mastery, with highly individualized lessons and extended periods of concentrated work. We embed a sequence of classical academic content in the humanities and sciences within this framework. Learn more about our approach to education.

Are you fresh out of training?

Joining our team offers an opportunity to learn directly from an experienced Lead Guide in a mentor/mentee capacity, allowing you to develop, practice, and refine your skills in a supportive environment. Work alongside our Mentor Guide until you're ready to work independently! We also have a team of experienced, AMI-trained mentors supporting our elementary classrooms nationwide.
