Open and Part-Time Substitute Roles
We are always interested in hearing from people who are drawn to education and Montessori, even when we don't have a position available that fits your exact experience. Many of our full-time faculty started in administrative or substitute roles, so there is room for growth regardless of where you begin at CMS. Additionally, our school is always growing and evolving, so we might have an emerging need that fits your experience. Start by sending us your resume, and we'll look forward to discussing how your skills and interests can coincide with Montessori philosophy!
AMI Teacher Training Sponsorship Program
CMS provides authentic Montessori education at all levels of learning. We are recognized by Association Montessori International at the Toddler, Primary and Elementary levels, which means that our teachers in those classrooms must have AMI Diplomas. In order to ensure that we have a pipeline of highly qualified people to serve our classrooms as our school grows, we regularly sponsor people to receive Association Montessori International training. Through the sponsorship program, the school pays for tuition and books at one of the AMI Training Centers in the form of a loan that is forgiven over time.
The opportunity to receive funding for your authentic Montessori training and AMI Diploma is ideal for candidates looking for enriching and engaging professional experiences. Learn more about how your skills and interests can coincide with Montessori philosophy at CMS by

Here are the reasons why I believe CMS is a great school:
The school environment is warm and welcoming. All the teachers are well trained and educated. They are willing to help each child calmly and logically. They accept that sometimes children have up and down, but teachers, including administration people, help each child to grow. They accept children freedom in the school. They know that helping children at the early age give them a big opportunity to have a great life later on and they might change the world a better place.
Parent
The teachers are so warm and caring, and it’s amazing how many staff members know him by name—it really feels like a close-knit community. He comes home excited to tell us about his day and all the teachers he interacted with.
