Position: Apprentice Guide with quick potential
for growth and leadership
Start Date: Fall 2024
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.
Wythe Academy 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 Wythe, 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 Wythe life, our students are empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.
We are seeking a full time Apprentice Guide to work with our elementary school learners (ages 7-10). In this role you’ll train into the role of a guide and will have the opportunity to grow quickly and steadily to take on a leadership role in our Grant Park campus as we continue to grow.
We are looking for a high-energy and creative individual who is passionate about guiding children on their independent journey of lifelong learning, and who is interested in the Hero’s Journey and the Socratic Method.
Our Guide will learn how to lead Socratic discussions and will learn how to work with the model’s learning design, processes and systems.
