Adolescent Community Science Guide

Santa Cruz Montessori School is seeking an Adolescent Community Science Guide for September 2013. Our Adolescent Program, “Wavecrest”, is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Founded in 1964, SCM serves 290 students from 18 months – 15 years. Our mission is “to guide and nurture the natural development of the whole person in a Montessori learning community where students develop a respect for nature and the global family. Our students will grow with a healthy spirit, a clear intellect and a strong character so they may realize their unique contributions as the work for a noble and peaceful world.” We have two campuses nestled between redwood-forested mountains and the Monterey Bay in Northern California.

Our future science guide will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and will work collaboratively with a supportive group of dedicated Wavecrest guides overseen by our Wavecrest director. Qualifications: Certificate from the AMI Adolescent Orientation, and a Bachelor degree in the sciences or related field. Montessori Elementary training and/or an elementary or secondary teaching credential preferred. The science guide will implement a study of the sciences guided by the Syllabus and the Plan of Work and Studies as described by Dr. Montessori. In addition, the guide will work with our students in our farm program one day/week at an organic farm where students engage in field studies, health and wellness, micro-economy, and creative expression. For a complete description of this position’s responsibilities and duties, please contact the school. For further information on SCM, see our website at scms.org.
