Elementary or Middle School Guide (Teacher) @ an Innovative School

Are you an educator who is passionate about making an impact and inspiring young learners? Do you crave meaningful work that emphasizes a love of learning, creativity, and real-life skills over traditional worksheets and testing? At Acton Academy Silicon Valley, we believe children are far more capable than traditional education gives them credit for. We don’t rely on traditional worksheets, lectures, or endless testing.

Instead, we create space and equip students to lead their own learning journeys, solve real-world problems, and discover a deep sense of purpose while mastering their learning goals. We’re currently seeking up to three Guides to join us in this bold mission.

In this role, you’ll inspire, mentor, coach, challenge, and support learners as they build the skills, mindset, knowledge, and independence needed to thrive in the real world. You’ll step back so students can step up—no micromanaging, no busywork, just deep, purposeful learning.

What you’ll do, what makes this role different, and the kind of candidate we’re looking for are described below.
