Middle School Math Teacher

Job Category: Guidepost Academy

Job Type: Part Time

Job Location: Ontario Toronto

Teachers who want to change the world come to Guidepost Academy .

Guidepost is a school dedicated to a union of classical and Montessori approaches to education: An emphasis on history and great books, with a Montessori reverence for independence and agency.

We are looking for a Part Time Middle School Math Teacher for the 2025-26 school year. Apply today and join our wonderful community!

Changing the world is in our DNA. Our organization was founded to do just that—a group of educators and likeminded individuals had caught a glimpse of what could be possible in education, and wanted to bring it to the world. Education today is filled with false alternatives. We disrupt them all. Our vision is a classroom where students plumb the depths of human knowledge and aspire to the height of intellectualism—and do it all at their own self-direction. Do you believe that there is critical, life-shaping knowledge that children desperately need—but also believe that they need to be in the driver’s seat when they pursue it? Then Guidepost Academy is the place for you.

Our Montessori approach means we believe in promoting each student’s individual agency. This includes open-ended, free work periods, where students choose what to work on and work at their own pace. We bring structure to that through a coaching-based approach that helps students plan their own goals for the day and week, using adults as guides and accountability partners.

This approach takes work to learn, so you’ll need to come in with that attitude. It also takes flexibility and a willingness to adapt. You will be joining a team of ambitious, creative, and inspiring educators and a fast-paced organization with opportunities for growth and development.

The Pursuit of Truth: We pursue knowledge not as an academic exercise, but to improve our judgement and actions in the world. We believe that understanding what is true matters, and we pursue deeper understanding whenever possible.

The Power of Agency: We believe that human beings, using their reason, judgment, and passion, are capable of leading self-directed lives of profound meaning and worth. We seek to develop and exercise our capacity to act with purpose, integrity, and conviction in pursuit of our aspirations.

We enliven and enrich each other through our choice to share norms, practices and expectations. In doing so, we experience the joy of belonging and develop a deep and abiding sense of love and responsibility for the communities we embrace.
