Name of School: Invictus: An Acton Academy

Job Description & Qualifications: Invictus: An Acton Academy, Liberty Hill/Georgetown, TX, is hiring! Do you want to change the world? Do you crave working hard with a small, mission-driven, world-class team of entrepreneurs changing the vision of school?

If your passion is to fuel the love of learning in others while advancing your own personal and professional growth, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of one of the world’s most innovative schools. Invictus: An Acton Academy, founded in 2021, is a private micro-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 Invictus, 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 Invictus life, our students are empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.

We are seeking a full-time Elementary Studio Guide to work with our elementary school learners. Our Guide has the opportunity to grow quickly and steadily into a Lead Guide and ultimately open his or her own Acton Academy or take on a leadership role on our campus. We are looking for a smart, entrepreneurial individual who is passionate about guiding children on their independent journey of lifelong learning, and who possesses an understanding of the Hero’s Journey and the Socratic Method. Our Guide will learn to lead Socratic discussions under our current elementary studio guide and will learn how to work with the Acton Academy learning design, processes and systems. Our Guide will equip our learners to explore and take ownership of their learning, monitor progress on curriculum, and create life-oriented projects that nurture curiosity.

Preferred experience and skills:

Experience managing mixed-aged groups of children
experience planning and implementing games or projects
coaching or mentoring experience a plus

deeply curious and ready to learn and work hard
agile with online learning
excellent writing and interpersonal communication skills
