At Milwaukee Montessori School, we build extraordinary academic foundations based on our students’ intrinsic motivations and natural interests, while maintaining a balance between tradition and innovation.
School is never boring for our students, and it’s never boring for us! While we offer many of the benefits you might find at other schools, we provide so much more for your personal and professional development: a purposeful, positive, and stimulating work environment and well-trained, experienced, and supportive faculty and administrators working together as we educate youngsters to become an informed, committed, and difference-making generation.
We seek creative people who know how to ask great questions, who have excellent technical skills, and who enjoy team sports! We encourage anyone who has a desire to teach, along with a solid undergraduate degree in an academic major such as mathematics, chemistry, history, biology, world literature, or technology, to apply.
