Summerland Montessori School is a multi-age school, featuring small class sizes, ranging from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5. Summerland Montessori School is known for play-based learning, our strong sense of community, lots of outdoor fun, a collaborative culture, a commitment to professional development for our team, and meeting students where they are with their individual learning.

  • Model a strong work ethic, high standard of commitment, and maintain excellent professionalism in all interactions with colleagues, students and parents.
  • Participate in community building events, both in and out of school hours
  • Promote and support the mission, vision and values of the school.
Qualifications Bachelor of Education Additional Preferences (not required):
  • Montessori Teaching Diploma, or interest in pursuing Montessori training
  • Interest or experience in discovery-based philosophies (e.g., Reggio, play-based)
  • 1-2 years teaching experience
  • Valid First Aid

Salary and Benefits:

  • Extended health and dental plan
  • RRSP match program
  • Regular professional development
  • Small class sizes (16:1) students to teacher
  • Willing to negotiate discounted or complimentary tuition for children of our education team.
  • Unlike for-profit private schools, as an independent non-profit school, we operate on a cost-recovery basis. We want to be able to provide an accessible independent school education for a diverse range of the community population. While we are unable to be competitive with private and public-school salaries, we make up for it with schedule flexibility, professional development opportunities, benefits, paid sick/personal days, and an incredibly supportive, warm and welcoming school and work environment.
