Elementary HomeRoom

Are you ready to rethink education?

We are not a traditional school — and we're not looking for traditional teachers.

At Welfare Institute, we are reimagining what learning looks like. We're seeking passionate educators who are ready to change the chip and thrive in a constructivist, Montessori-inspired environment — one that does not rely on homework or exams, but instead fosters curiosity, autonomy, and meaningful, hands-on learning.

We welcome educators who bring high energy, creativity, and a dynamic presence that engages and inspires young learners — and who are open to relearning, unlearning, and growing as part of an innovative, bilingual school community.

What You'll Do

• Lead and manage a primary-grade homeroom with clarity, structure, and heart.
• Design hands-on, inquiry-based lessons that foster curiosity and active participation.
• Build a positive and inclusive classroom culture centered on student voice and agency.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues to co-create meaningful learning experiences.
• Maintain clear, ongoing communication with families.

Required Qualifications

• 2 to 3 years of experience teaching at the primary level (this is essential).
• Full fluency in English (spoken, written, and reading).
• Spanish is a strong asset.
• Bachelor's degree in Education or a related field.
• Valid teaching certification or license.
• Experience with progressive methodologies (e.g., Inquiry-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, IB).
• Strong classroom leadership and the ability to foster a joyful, engaging learning environment.
• Willingness to break away from traditional teaching models and grow in a creative, collaborative setting.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Education.
• Training in Readers & Writers Workshop.
• Apple Certified Educator.
• Experience with co-teaching or the Reggio Emilia approach.
• Background in alternative or progressive education.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package, including:
  • Savings fund
  • Annual bonus
  • Additional leave days
  • Opportunities for continuous professional growth and creative freedom.
