Creator’s House, an Acton Academy is hiring!

Do you want to change the world? Do you crave working hard with a small, mission-driven, world-class team of entrepreneurs changing the vision of school?

Description: If your passion is to fuel the love of learning in others while advancing your own personal and professional growth, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor of one of the world’s most innovative schools.

Acton Academy, founded in 2009, is a private micro-school and learner-driven community with the mission that each person who enters its doors will find a calling and change the world. We combine elements of the Montessori method with Socratic guiding, hands-on experiential quests and interactive technology. Underlying our method is an application of the Hero’s Journey, creating a lively learning environment that feels more like an adventure than school. Creator’s House is an affiliate and part of the Acton Academy network here in the greater Seattle area.

At Creator’s House, we have mixed-aged classrooms called studios with a self-paced learning design as opposed to grade-levels. Our real world-oriented quests culminate in a public exhibition of learning as opposed to test scores and report cards. In all areas of Creator’s House life, our students are empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.

We are seeking a full time Lead Guide to work with our Creators in the Explorer Studio (ages 7-12). Our Lead Guide has the opportunity to grow quickly and steadily into a game master and ultimately open his or her own Acton Academy or take on a leadership role on our campus.

We are looking for a smart, entrepreneurial individual who is passionate about guiding young people on their independent journey of lifelong learning, and who possesses an understanding of the Hero’s Journey and the Socratic Method. Our Lead Guide will learn to lead Socratic discussions and will learn how to work with the Acton Academy learning design, processes and systems. Our Lead Guide will equip our Creators to explore and take ownership of their learning, monitor progress on curriculum, and create life-oriented projects that nurture curiosity.

Start your journey to equip and inspire young heroes.
