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 Madison West, founded in 2022, 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 are part of a network of over 300 independently- owned Acton Academies worldwide.
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.
At Acton Academy Madison West, 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 Acton life, our *students are empowered to be in the driver’s seat of their learning.

We are seeking a full time Elementary Studio Guide to work with our elementary school learners.
Our Guide has the opportunity to grow quickly and steadily into a Lead Guide 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 children on their independent journey of lifelong learning, and who possesses an understanding of the Hero’s Journey and the Socratic Method.
Our Guide will learn to lead Socratic discussions under our current elementary studio guide and will learn how to work with the Acton Academy learning design, processes and systems.
Our Guide will equip our learners to explore and take ownership of their learning, monitor progress on curriculum, and create life-oriented projects that nurture curiosity.
