Elementary School Guide

Join a school reimagining education

Slope School is building a different kind of learning environment—one where students take ownership of their learning, families are deeply aligned with the mission, and educators are trusted as professionals. This is an opportunity to work in a small, close-knit community focused on helping young people learn how to learn, think critically, and grow into capable, self-directed individuals. We are looking for experienced educators who are ready to take on a high-ownership role with meaningful autonomy.

About the Role

We are looking to hire guides who will be responsible for leading a studio of 15-20 students, designing and facilitating learning experiences, and building a strong, values-driven culture. This role blends teaching, coaching, and leadership.

These roles are ideal for candidates with 2-3 years of experience in the education sector who are looking to be part of an innovative educational organization and develop further in their career. We have openings in all 3 of our campuses.

Track student progress using academic data and deliver 1:1 coaching / instruction

Build a strong studio culture focused on ownership, respect, and accountability

What Makes This Role Different

Work in a mission-driven school with highly engaged families
