Who We Are
Guidepost Montessori is a community of trained educators who are driven by a deep desire to bring about widespread change in education today. We believe that the traditional method of education used in most schools is antiquated, outdated, and broken. To meet the needs of today's students and to bring about true progress in the world around us, we need an education model that fosters independence and develops competent, capable, action-oriented thinkers and change agents. To that end, we are committed to dramatically increasing the amount of high-fidelity, authentic Montessori programs, not only in the U.S., but around the globe!
What are we looking for?
In short, we're looking for ambitious, hard-working, self-starters—aspiring leaders with an entrepreneurial state of mind. We value people who have demonstrated the following characteristics in previous roles:
- Passion/motivation for education
- High degree of initiative
- Relentless resourcefulness
- A strong motivation to achieve results and outcomes
- Ability to take ownership (an "ask for forgiveness instead of asking for permission" attitude)
- Confidence in ability to make tough decisions, even with limited information
- High degree of self-awareness (knowing what you don't know)
- A growth mindset
What can you expect as a leader at one of our schools?
- Ongoing professional development
- A network of supportive peers and mentors who regularly share best practices
- Career growth and promotion opportunities
- A competitive salary
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off and paid holidays
