Teachers are responsible for providing a Montessori classroom/instructional program that supports the development of the cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual growth of the child in accordance with the school’s mission and vision and the child’s developmental stage.

We also ask that teachers have experience with equity, anti-bias, and teaching in an equitable and culturally affirming way and have experience working with children having a wide range of social, emotional, and behavioral experiences.

This portion of the physical education program at Hilltop Montessori School is a holistic program offered to students from 1st – 8th grade. It is a balance between developing individual skills and learning to work as part of a team/group.
