Job DescriptionJob DescriptionWe're now hiring an experienced leader to join our growing team in the Western Suburbs area as Assistant Head of School

Guidepost Montessori is a community of 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 We believe that the traditional method of education used in most schools is antiquated, outdated, and broken.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 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
