Montessori Elementary Guide

It’s an exciting time to consider a career as an Elementary Guide at the Barron Area Montessori School in Barron, Wisconsin! Only 90 miles from the Twin Cities metro, Barron is a rural community of approximately 3,500 located at the gateway to Wisconsin’s northern vacationland. As a public charter school in the Barron Area School District, the Barron Area Montessori School was established in 2007 and is located in Almena with a large outdoor play area and a building serving only Montessori students ages 3-12.

In cozy environments designed with Montessori philosophy in mind, our Guides work collaboratively with an aide, to foster in children a love and motivation for learning. Among our professionals, you’ll find a strong sense of teamwork and partnership—whether you’re looking to share past experiences as a seasoned Guide or seeking mentorship as a new Guide. You’ll find the support here at Barron Area Montessori School.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional Montessori experience that maximizes each child’s potential to positively shape their world. In alignment with our school’s mission, Elementary students are encouraged to plan and participate in “goings out”. All students are invited to participate in the annual Barnebirkie cross country ski event which we host in Almena. This event provides opportunity for outdoor adventure as well as engagement in a life long activity.

Currently the school hosts two Children’s House classrooms for ages 3-kindergarten, one E1 classroom for grades 1-3, and one E2 classroom for grades 3-6. All Montessori guides at Barron Area Montessori School have MACTE accredited training and a teaching license with the DPI. If you are feeling underqualified, but have a passion for teaching, an incredible work ethic, and a desire to learn; we will work with you. Partial or full training sponsorship may be possible for a successful candidate. This is a teaching position to begin in August 2027. If the hired individual does not have Montessori training, the blended online/in person training would begin in January or March.
