Acton Academy Verona Hiring for Montessori Guide for Kindergarten Job at Verona, NJ Full Time

If your passion is to fuel the love of learning in others while advancing your own personal and professional growth, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of one of the world’s most innovative schools.

Acton Academy Verona, created in 2017, is a private micro-school and learner-driven community with the mission that each person who enters its doors will find a calling and change the world. We serve k through grade 12 students. We are part of a community of 300 locations worldwide and over 5,000 applications from entrepreneurial parents pending to open more.

We combine elements of the Montessori method with Socratic guiding and hands-on experiential quests. Underlying our method is an application of the Hero’s Journey creating a lively learning environment that feels more like an adventure than school.

At Acton, we have mixed-aged classrooms called studios with a self-paced learning design as opposed to grade-levels. Our real world-oriented quests culminate in a public exhibition of learning as opposed to test scores and report cards. In all areas of Acton life, our students are empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.

We are seeking a full-time Montessori-trained Guide to lead our “Spark” Kindergarten / Grade 1 studio. Our Guide has the opportunity to grow quickly and steadily and ultimately open his or her own Acton Academy.

We are looking for an individual who believes young children are far more capable than most people give them credit for and is passionate about guiding them on their independent journey of life-long learning. If this is you, learn more about our school at www.ActonAcademyVerona.org and about the Acton philosophy at www.actonacademyparents.com.

If at that point you are ready for your own hero’s journey as an Acton guide, send your resume to us and get ready to go on a quest!
