Position Description

Do you dream of changing the world by igniting a love of learning in young children? Are you passionate about education that honors curiosity, independence, and purpose? If so, this could be your calling. At Acton Academy Dripping Springs, we’re reimagining school. As part of a global network of learner-driven schools, we combine Montessori principles, the Hero’s Journey, Socratic dialogue, and real-world projects to create an environment where school feels more like an adventure. We’re hiring a full-time Apprentice Guide to support our Spark Studio (ages 4–7). This is an opportunity to grow into a Lead Guide or even open your own Acton Academy.

What You'll Do

  • Work side-by-side with a Lead Guide to learn Socratic guiding and Acton’s learner-driven systems.

  • Coach and mentor young learners as they develop core skills, character, and curiosity.

  • Help create and facilitate engaging, real-world quests and hands-on projects.

  • Empower children to take ownership of their learning and personal growth.

What We're Looking For

  • A heart for children and belief in their capability to learn and lead.

  • Experience with mixed-age groups, coaching, or project-based learning (a plus).

  • Entrepreneurial mindset, strong communication skills, and a calm, growth-oriented demeanor.

  • Passion for learner-driven education and the courage to do things differently.

Why Join Us

  • Be part of a mission-driven, world-class team revolutionizing education.

  • Receive ongoing training in the Acton model and Hero’s Journey framework.

  • Competitive pay, room for growth, and meaningful impact every day.

Together, We Will Achieve

  • A joyful, learner-driven environment where children take charge of their learning.

  • A foundation of curiosity, courage, and character in every young Hero.

  • Meaningful growth—for the children, and for you as a lifelong learner and Guide.

  • A redefinition of school as a place of purpose, freedom, and discovery.
