Do you want to share your passion for art and love of learning with the next generation? Do you enjoy guiding Lower Elementary students on a journey of discovery? If so, we might want to meet you.
Woodinville Montessori School is not a typical school. For the past 40 years we have created a learning environment to support the whole child’s growth and development. The environment is prepared specifically to allow students to experience a content rich, hands-on curriculum which provide opportunities to grapple with large concepts, engage their imaginations, and work toward a growing appreciation for the wonders of the universe. In Lower Elementary, students apply their powers of imagination and capacity for hard work, along with transitioning from concrete to abstract thinking.
