Part-Time Elementary Assistant Teacher
About Us
Allium Montessori is a Wildflower micro-school located in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. We serve elementary students ages 6-12 with a Montessori curriculum, which includes personalized lessons and hands-on learning materials that children use to explore increasingly complex subject areas. In Allium’s mixed-age classrooms, children joyfully collaborate, socialize, invent, discover, and create. Our students’ investment in their community builds a foundation for lifelong civic participation, including the ability to navigate multiple perspectives, resolve conflicts, and create positive change.
Allium strives to be an equitable school that is not only accessible to all students through generous financial assistance, but also welcoming and uplifting. Through reflective practices, ongoing professional development and family education nights, we are building a school grounded in our commitment to anti-bias and anti-racist work.
We are looking for a part-time assistant elementary teacher to join our team August 2025. This position would be great for someone interested in learning more about our innovative teacher-led micro school model as well as Montessori’s self-directed, whole-child educational philosophy.
