Other Lead Teacher / Guide
https://www.wildflowerschools.org
Date Posted: July 28, 2026
Position: Other Lead Teacher / Guide
Description: Wildflower is seeking experienced Montessori educators to join founding teams that will design, launch, and eventually lead teacher-led public charter Montessori schools.
Teacher Leaders are co-founders who create schools alongside Administrative Partners and community leaders. Launching a charter school is a multi-year entrepreneurial endeavor, and Teacher Leaders shape every aspect of it: from the earliest stages of school design through charter authorization, school launch, and leading your own classroom in the school you built.
As a Founding Teacher Leader, you will participate in the Wildflower Charter Incubator, a structured program combining coaching, practical work, and individualized support as founders prepare for charter application, authorization, and school opening.
Qualifications: We are seeking experienced Montessori educators who don't want to choose between the classroom and leadership. Founding Teacher Leaders do both: guiding children every day while creating an entirely new public school around them.
Strong candidates typically have:
MACTE-accredited Montessori certification (AMI, AMS, or equivalent)
Several years of Montessori classroom experience
Deep respect for child-centered learning
Strong relationships in the community they hope to serve
Salary Range: $70,000 - $100,00
Description of Community: States with strong conditions for a new Wildflower charter include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and parts of Upstate New York.
New Wildflower charter schools are not currently viable in California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, or Washington state.
Start Date: 08/01/2026
How To Apply: If you're interested: https://wildflowerschools.fillout.com/learn-more
More context:
About the Opportunity
Launching a charter school is a multi-year entrepreneurial endeavor.
In collaboration with a Founding Administrative Partner, Founding Teacher Leaders will:
Move through the Wildflower Charter Incubator and complete its readiness milestones.
Co-develop the educational vision, school culture, and learning environment.
Contribute to charter application development and authorization.
Build relationships with families, community organizations, and local partners.
Help recruit founding board members and future Teacher Leaders.
Develop enrollment strategies that make Montessori available to more families.
Create systems that allow educators to lead together through shared governance.
Prepare to launch and lead your own Montessori classroom as a co-founder.
Teacher Leaders don't step into someone else's school. They build the organization itself and then lead within it.
During the Incubator
The Wildflower Charter Incubator begins with six weeks of structured work alongside a small group of founding teams, followed by four weeks of individual coaching and integration sessions with your team.
Support continues as teams move toward application and launch, and includes:
Readiness reviews and milestone feedback
Montessori program design
Community-rooted school design
Family engagement and enrollment strategy
Governance and shared leadership
Financial sustainability
Team development
Charter application development and authorization preparation
Long-term school startup planning
Commitment
Launching a Wildflower charter school is comparable to starting a mission-driven social enterprise. It calls for persistence, collaboration, and sustained effort over several years. You won't do it alone: throughout the process, you'll have coaching, practical tools, and the experience of the broader Wildflower network behind you, while retaining full ownership of building a school that reflects your community and educational vision.
About Wildflower Schools
Wildflower is a national network of more than 80 small, teacher-led, community-embedded Montessori schools across 22 states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. Each school is founded and led by its educators and is deeply rooted in the neighborhood it serves. Wildflower believes that children are fundamentally peaceful, curious, and good, and that schools can only work for children and families if they also work for educators. That belief is why Wildflower schools are built and led by the people closest to the children.
Wildflower's public charter schools are tuition-free and open to every family regardless of income. Founding teams are supported by The Wildflower Foundation, which provides access to startup capital, hands-on coaching and tools, and a national community of Teacher Leaders who have walked this path themselves.
