Full-time Temporary Elementary Teacher

We are actively seeing a Montessori Upper Elementary trained teacher to fill a position left vacant by an internal transfer. Join our AMS accredited, 380 student, toddler-8th grade Montessori school in beautiful Waukesha, Wisconsin. Montessori School of Waukesha (MSOW) is looking for a dedicated teacher who loves working with children and their families, and collaborating with colleagues. Montessori teacher credentials are highly preferred though not required if the applicant has teaching experience and a willingness to earn a Montessori credential. MSOW website:
We have had success with hiring passionate, traditional professional educators who naturally embrace the Montessori philosophy - often described as similar to learner led or project based approaches. We then support them with an in-house teacher coach as they complete a Montessori teacher training program which is significantly subsidized by MSOW. The GMEI Teacher Education Program is accredited by MACTE, affiliated with American Montessori Society (AMS), and a program of Montessori School of Waukesha. GMEI website:
The positive, community oriented, Montessori Upper Elementary (9-12 years) lead teacher will guide about 28 students in a fully equipped, mixed age, 1,200 square foot Montessori classroom. A full-time paraprofessional is assigned to each of our 14 classroom communities to assist the Lead Teacher throughout the day and afford the teacher substantial prep time.

Founded in 1964, Montessori School of Waukesha is the first and only school in Wisconsin accredited by the American Montessori Society. Our school has one toddler room, five children's house classrooms, four lower elementary classrooms, three upper elementary classrooms, and one middle school classroom.
A Bachelor's degree and AMS or AMI credential for children ages 9 to 12 is preferred.
However, teacher candidates currently in a MACTE accredited training program are also encouraged to apply. (We offer generous tuition reimbursement.)
Candidates who are not already licensed for teaching in Wisconsin, by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, must be willing to initiate the licensing process with our help. MSOW offers 100% reimbursement for the licensing/test fees. The MSOW Director of Faculty and Staff will answer any questions you may have about this process which many of our faculty have completed.
MSOW offers Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, and Short-Term and Long-term Disability insurance coverage through the school. The school provides 80 hours of personal paid time off, and 16 hours of professional development paid time. Teachers may also choose to teach after school Enrichment Programs during the school year or in the nine-week Summer Program.
MSOW is a Community Partner school with a local public school district and a majority of our students, 4K and up, participate in a tuition reimbursement program. We believe in employee professional development and have funded degrees, credentials, and certificates up to 80% for many of our teachers. MSOW has historically high teacher retention with 95% lead teacher retention into 25-26.
