Lower Elementary Guide in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

The Virgin Island Montessori School is seeking an IMC, AMI, or AMS trained Lower Elementary Guide to lead one of two Elementary classrooms on our beautiful campus on St. Thomas. This is a wonderful opportunity for a passionate Montessorian excited about building relationships with children, parents, and colleagues in a caring community where growth is valued and encouraged. Our School is celebrating its 60th year of offering Montessori and IB education to youth on the island of St. Thomas. We are proud of both our history and culture!
We are seeking a candidate who has the ability to teach to a diverse set of learners (i.e. culture, ethnicity, race, neurodiversity). Someone who demonstrates grace, patience and excellent observational and communication skills. Someone who is organized, can multitask, keep calm under pressure, and treat everyone with love and respect. We are a community of dedicated Montessorians, AMI accredited at the Primary level. People that do well here with us stay for 3+ years and take full advantage of the beach and natural beauty of our special island.
Requirements are:
Completed training at an IMC, AMI, or AMS Training Center.
Bachelor’s degree in early childhood teaching, education, or a related discipline
US Citizenship or current US Visa. While we would love to host our international community of Montessorians, the process of acquiring a work visa in the Virgin Islands is not ensured.

Instructions for Candidates: Email Daniela Sloan (Montessori Director) at dsloan@vimsia.org and Gloria Arpasi (Head of School) at hos@vimsia.org
