Name of School: Whole Life Learning Center

Job Description & Qualifications: Whole Life Learning Center is an independent private school that takes an individualized and holistic approach to education, with emphases on social-emotional learning, ecology, social justice, and project-based learning. With our roots in Montessori, Waldorf, and other non-traditional, “non-industrial” approaches to education, we chart an independent path through an emergent curriculum that features both structure and learner choice. We have five multi-age classrooms, and we are seeking a lead mentor for our combined K–1 class. This mentor will have an assistant; there will be between 12 and 18 learners in the class; and the learners will also have at least one “specialty” class (art, music, eco-studies, etc.) per day, led by a specialty mentor. Responsibilities of the lead mentor will include lesson planning and delivery, parent communication, creating an inspiring classroom environment, and participation in school events and staff meetings and trainings. General workday is 8:15am to 4pm, with staff meetings held roughly every other Wednesday until 5:30pm.

Compensation: $47,000 for a 10-month work year. Benefits include full tuition remission for one child, 50% tuition remission for additional children; group health insurance premiums covered at 50% for the employee (at cost for family members); all standard school holidays off with pay (including a week-long spring break, a full week at Thanksgiving, usually 2.5 weeks for winter break, etc.); retirement plan, including limited matching contributions; and membership in an amazing community of lifelong learners.
