Acton Academy, is a private school and learner-driven community with the mission that each person who enters its doors will find a calling and change the world. We combine elements of the Montessori method with Socratic guiding, hands-on experiential quests and interactive technology. 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 master teacher to work with our heroes ages 4-12 as a full-time guide. Our Guide has the opportunity to grow quickly and steadily into a Lead Guide and other leadership roles.

Our Guide will learn to lead Socratic discussions from trainings produced by Socratic Master Jeff Sandefer and will learn how to work with the Acton Academy learning design, processes and systems. Our Guide will equip our heroes to explore and take ownership of their learning, monitor progress on Montessori curriculum, and create life-oriented projects that nurture curiosity.
