Assistant Director

We're now hiring an experienced leader to join our growing team as Assistant Director (Assistant Head of School) in the Voorhees, New Jersey area!

Guidepost Montessori is a community of educators who are driven by a deep desire to bring about widespread change in education today.

To that end, we are committed to dramatically increasing the amount of high-fidelity, authentic Montessori programs, not only in the U.S., but around the globe!
