About the role

Montessori is seeking an experienced guide to lead a summer micro-school for ages 5–6 in a prepared Montessori environment. The role requires AMI- or AMS-trained certification and the ability to design and facilitate a genuine Montessori work cycle for a tiny cohort. You will observe each child, tailor activities to developmental needs, and maintain the unhurried, child-led rhythm that defines authentic Montessori practice. Materials will be provided, and compensation is guided by experience.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
