Vacant job

Are you curious about a different way of working where all senses are engaged, where students work in age-integrated groups and grow in responsibility and independence?

We are looking for a teacher for grades 1-3 or 1-6 with qualifications in mathematics combined with other subjects for our Montessori school.

Montessori School Galaxen aims to be a school where children can develop into their own individuals. Guided by this vision, we run an independent, non-profit preschool and F-9 school based on Montessori pedagogy. We offer a school environment with safety and study peace, with close collaboration within and between different grades. With great commitment and pedagogical competence, we provide children with a developing school experience and a secure start in life. Our school is just the right size to maintain close contact with children, staff, and parents. All staff share a common responsibility for the students throughout their schooling, and everyone is involved in the overall results when they graduate from ninth grade.

Your mission as a teacher in grades 1-3 primarily includes:

• Class teaching and subject responsibility primarily in mathematics, preferably in combination with reading and writing instruction or another subject. To conduct upbringing and learning based on the Curriculum for Compulsory School and our Montessori pedagogical profile.
• To be part of the spirit in which we wish to conduct our teaching, where the student is at the center and great importance is placed on good relationships, safety, and study peace.

Who are you?

You are a person who feels a strong commitment to both the content of knowledge and the students and their knowledge development. An independent person who also enjoys being part of a team and interacting with colleagues and workgroups.

We are looking for someone who has qualifications and experience from the earlier years of compulsory school and feels curious and interested in working with Montessori pedagogy. The position can vary between 80-100%.

About Montessori School Galaxen

The school, founded in 1994, operates as an economic association and is owned by its members, primarily consisting of guardians and staff at the school. The association's board is the school's principal. The school currently has space for 120 students from F-9 and 24 children in preschool. In addition, we run after-school activities. We have 25 knowledgeable staff members at the school.

The school is inspired by Montessori pedagogy, which is based on the idea that children are curious, full of joy in discovery, and eager to try new things. The fundamental ideas of Montessori pedagogy for children's development are safety, participation, and encouragement towards independence. A holistic perspective is of great importance in learning. Structure and routines are important guiding principles for us; we help each other and show consideration. The social contacts are many as the children work in age-mixed groups.
