Lexington Montessori School is seeking an experienced middle school writing and literature teacher to start the 2023-2024 school year. Passion for reading and writing as both a teacher and a (lifelong) learner will serve you well with our small group of 20-25 seventh and eighth graders. You will work closely with our middle school science/history teacher and our middle school math teacher as a three-person team.

Community participation and collaboration are part of everyone’s job at LMS.

Montessori training at the secondary level should be in hand or we will work with you to plan for acquiring your Montessori credential in the next few years. Spanish skills are a plus but not required.
