Description

Guide at Wonderstorm Academy

Wonderstorm Academy isn’t a school. It’s a Leadership Academy for Independent Learners.
A community. A sanctuary. A launchpad.
A place where childhood is protected, potential is ignited, and the Hero’s Journey comes to life.

We’re looking for rare humans to join our team as Guides—not teachers. Guides cultivate spaces where children discover their power, pursue mastery, and rise as leaders.

This is what it means to be a Guide at Wonderstorm: to model, not manage. To hold space, not control. To walk beside children as they uncover who they really are.

This Role Is For You If

  • You believe children are wise, whole, and powerful—not vessels to fill or problems to fix.
  • You light up in the presence of young people and feel honored to be part of their growth.
  • You lead with calm confidence, hold boundaries with love, and model integrity through your presence.
  • You crave meaningful, mission-driven work aligned with your values.
  • You’re eager to grow as a leader, healer, guide, and human while helping children do the same.

What You’ll Do

  • Guide a multi-age group of learners through rhythms that include core skills, quests, movement, passion projects, and reflection.
  • Support a self-paced, learner-led environment—no lectures, no grades, no power struggles.
  • Lead small-group discussions, collaborative challenges, and creative experiences.
  • Build relationships rooted in trust, curiosity, and mutual respect.
  • Learn alongside the children—because the journey never ends.
  • Collaborate with other Guides, receive ongoing mentorship, and grow in leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence.

Our Approach

At Wonderstorm, we blend Montessori principles, Socratic dialogue, project-based learning, and leadership development in an environment rooted in freedom, responsibility, and excellence.

We believe in:

  • Agency over obedience
  • Inner wisdom over external validation
  • Real-world skills over standardized scripts
  • Whole child development over test scores

Here, children don’t earn grades—they earn wisdom, awareness, accountability, and confidence through exhibitions, passion projects, and their own Hero’s Journey.

Requirements

  • Deep love and respect for children
  • Calm and clear presence
  • Strong communication and follow-through
  • Growth mindset and open heart

Why Join Us?

At Wonderstorm, Guides don’t just “work with kids.” They awaken potential, ignite curiosity, and cultivate leaders. You’ll join a mission-driven team committed to reimagining education and protecting the magic of childhood—while growing into the best version of yourself.

If you feel alive reading this, if your heart says yes, then maybe this is the path you’ve been waiting for.
