Job description

Summary

You have a creative bent, love of learning (for yourself), and are keen on collaborating and reflecting with colleagues on a daily basis. We are looking for a go-getter, an educator raring to contribute to something new and profound for children, and parents too.

We can't wait to welcome you!

You have a creative bent, love of professional learning, and dedication to working collaboratively with colleagues throughout our school house. We seek go-getters, educators raring to contribute to something new and extraordinary for children, and their parents too.
