Lead Guide - Age 5 to 12 (Decatur, GA)
About Moonrise:
Moonrise (moonrise.com) is a new education system. With beautiful spaces, real-world experiences, expert guidance, and a built-in community, it's everything you need to raise incredible human beings.
Moonrise Guides are like personal trainers for the mind. They get to know our Risers (kids 5 to 12 years old), guide their learning, and help them work through projects and challenges. The most important role of a Guide is to engage with our Risers and get to know them as unique individuals.
Children at Moonrise engage in a wide range of learning experiences like painting, drawing, gardening, chess, sports, arts and crafts, nature walks, reading, entrepreneurship, academics, and more. We believe our diversity of experiences provides a naturally engaging and fun learning environment. Many homeschoolers join Moonrise to supplement their at-home learning and to socialize with friends. We also welcome children after school.
We're looking for a Lead Guide who:
- Has 5+ years of experience in a progressive or alternative education setting like a Montessori or a similar setting
- Prefers a hands-on, student-led educational experience compared to tests and lectures
- Builds a warm, positive, and energetic culture
- Has experience communicating with parents
- Wants to contribute to a greater purpose and mission
- Takes kids seriously
- Montessori Certification for Primary Education (AMI, AMS, or equivalent) preferred but not required
Responsibilities:
- Lead engaging, hands-on experiences for our children
- Co-create new experiences for Moonrise to provide a well-rounded learning experience
- Be part of the hiring team for new Moonrise Guide hires
- Coach and develop more junior Moonrise Guides
- Make sure Risers are safe, cared for, and encouraged to learn and pursue their own interests
- Moonrise is a young company (3 years old), and you should thrive in an environment that continues to evolve – you will be empowered to help shape the future of Moonrise
