Original job description

We’re building the kind of school children deserve.

This Is Where Children Start Deciding Who They Are.

By ages 9–12, students become highly aware of themselves - and of each other.

They compare.

They notice who is ahead.

They begin protecting how they are seen.

What Was Once Flexible

“I’m still learning this”

Can Become

“I’m just not good at this.”

Students More Consistently

Avoid work that exposes weakness
Hold back where they feel unsure
Play it safe

What may have been occasional earlier becomes more consistent - and begins to shape how students show up. Patterns start to solidify.

Most schools miss this.

We don’t.

Our school

We are not a typical school.

Montessori is our foundation - but not our limit.

We focus on how students think, respond to challenge, and see themselves and the world around them.

We support the whole child - academic, emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological, and social development.

Our Environment Is

holistic
growth-focused
community-driven
built to develop confident, capable, and self-aware children

Our Program Integrates

Strong academics
With a dedicated focus on emotional intelligence, mindset development, and belief formation
Holistic health - including movement, nutrition (with whole organic food), overall well-being, and naturopathic wellness-informed support
Connection to nature - through outdoor experiences and an environment that extends beyond the classroom
Leadership and real-world skills

We work closely with families - because alignment between home and school matters.

The foundation is strong.

Now we are raising the standard.

The role

This is not a delivery role.

You are responsible for how students respond to challenge, effort, and themselves.

A critical part of this role is developing students’ mindset:

Not through surface-level encouragement - you really need to “see” the children.

You do this through clear expectations, consistency, and how you intentionally respond in real moments.

Students Should Leave Your Classroom Understanding

Effort matters
Ability develops
Struggle is part of learning

On a Daily Basis, You Will

Hold students accountable for effort and follow-through
Address avoidance directly
Require revision and completion of work
Coach students through discomfort instead of removing it
Manage real peer dynamics and social pressure

You

Who this is for

Lead with love and care
Hold high standards
Stay calm under pressure
Address issues directly
Think in real time

You Understand

Students at this age are sensitive to comparison and judgment
Behavior is often driven by how they interpret challenge
Confidence is built through experience and guidance

This role is not for everyone

Not a Fit If You

Avoid difficult conversations
Lower expectations to reduce friction
Prefer highly structured, low-responsibility environments

Requirements

Montessori Diploma (AMI/MACTE)
Bachelor of Education (preferred)
First Aid and CPR certification
Vulnerable Sector Check and clean record
Strong verbal and written communication skills
Strong organization, planning, and attention to detail
Ability to lead a classroom independently with professionalism and presence
Strong judgment, problem-solving, and critical thinking ability
Creative, positive, fun, and empowering
Ability to collaborate openly with a team
Proficient with Microsoft Office and comfortable using digital tools
Quick to learn and adapt to new applications, systems, and technology
Deep understanding of development in ages 9–12 (cognitive, social, emotional, and psychological), and the ability to apply that understanding in real classroom situations
Strong awareness of how students interpret challenge, effort, and social comparison - and ability to respond effectively
Able to intentionally develop students’ mindset - helping them build confidence, resilience, and self-belief through how challenge and effort are handled
Observant, and able to respond thoughtfully to the needs of the classroom
Able to adapt in real time while maintaining structure and consistency
Genuinely enjoys being with children and guiding their development - not just managing them
Open-minded and committed to continuous personal and professional growth
A genuine passion for children, development, health, and the outdoors
Background in psychology, coaching, entrepreneurial experience, or relevant certifications is an asset

Successful Candidate Will Be Required To Provide

References
Copies of certificates of the aforementioned qualifications
A clear vulnerable sector screening
Standard First Aid/CPR certification, or proof of enrollment in course
