What distinguishes Sapientia Montessori School
from other workplaces? Our care for and commitment to enriching the
lives of everyone in our community – children, parents, staff and the
community-at-large alike; unparalleled passion for educational
excellence; our integrity and regard for the highest human values.
In providing the highest standards of Montessori education, Preschool and Private Elementary education, our teachers and staff are very carefully chosen with the highest regard for nurturing, integral and professional qualities. Our teachers are AMI-Montessori certified, while most of them also hold Masters degrees from prestigious colleges around the nation.
A Montessori teacher is properly called a “Guide”. This title adequately describes the true role of the Montessori educator: An observer whose primary goal is to understand (many times sense) the child’s abilities, needs and interests and direct him/her accordingly. The younger and less experienced the child, the less abstract the lessons are and more active the role of the Guide, presenting activities based on the child’s requirements.
As the child develops, guides intervene less and help the child to increasingly assert his/her independence. Through his/her demeanor, approach and lessons, the Guide generates an atmosphere of peace, order and joy in the class, supporting and encouraging children across their efforts, and fostering self-confidence and discipline.
Understanding how to constructively observe and when, and how far to intervene, is one an essential talent the Montessori Guide. Such skills are initially acquired through an intense and comprehensive AMI training course (there are centers throughout the USA and worldwide) and of course, through years of experience.
Immediate positions may not always be available, although we are always on the lookout for highly qualified and dedicated staff.
