If your passion is to fuel the love of learning in others while advancing your own personal, spiritual, and professional growth, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of one of the world’s most innovative schools.
Lake Travis Christian Academy, part of the Acton Academy Network, is a Christian micro-school and learner-driven community with the mission that each person who enters its doors will find a God given 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 Acton, 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 Acton life, our learners are empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.
We are seeking a full time Montessori Guide to work with our Spark Studio (ages 4-6/7). Our Guide has the opportunity to lead with their faith out front and grow steadily into a leadership role on our Lake Travis campus.
We are looking for a smart, entrepreneurial individual who is passionate about God and guiding children on their independent journey of lifelong learning, and who possesses an understanding of the Hero’s Journey and the Socratic Method.
Our Guide will learn to lead Socratic discussions through a variety of training opportunities and will learn how to work with the LT Christian Academy learning design, processes and systems.
Our Guide will equip our Learners to explore and take ownership of their learning, monitor progress on curriculum, and create life-oriented projects that nurture curiosity.
