Careers

Our school is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it for those content with "good enough." Supporting human growth and development is serious business. These young people are the future inventors, scholars, artists, authors, activists, ecologists, educators, parents, builders, innovators and global citizens. It's our job to help prepare each child for their own unique path of self-development and self-discovery.

I first became familiar with Three Tree when I did observations during my training. Right away I could see that the school and all the staff were committed to practicing authentic Montessori. The campus is lovely and I could feel as soon as I walked in, the love and care that students, staff and families share. Three Tree was a place I knew I wanted to belong. When I had the opportunity to join the Three Tree community, I jumped at the chance. Here, I have the autonomy in my class to implement Montessori just as it was given to me in training, and in alignment with my values. I have received such warm support from the whole Three Tree community, students, parents and staff alike.

I ultimately chose TTMS from all the other schools because I felt such a strong sense of community, care and positivity when I entered the school. The staff was so warm and welcoming. The environments were beautiful and peaceful, and I knew that when I had a child I wanted her to go here. For me it was not just a job (you can always find a school to teach in), it was the people I interacted with daily that made the difference. It was also having an organization that supported and encouraged growth, both as individuals and as a group.
