🌱Lead Sprouts Coach (Ages 5-7)

Full-Time / Montessori-Inspired, Faith-Based

Do you believe childhood should be protected, honored, and ignited — not rushed?

At Apogee Anson, we are building something different. Our Sprouts (ages 5–7) are not passive recipients of information. They are Trailblazers — on a journey toward their individual Apogees (their highest point of growth and development). This unique role focuses on guiding and coaching rather than traditional teaching, empowering children to take responsibility for their learning and growth.

We are seeking a full-time Lead Sprouts Coach to cultivate a structured, joyful, Montessori-inspired learning environment where independence ignites and joyful learning begins.

🔥 What You’ll Do

🧠 Build Academic Foundations (Without Crushing Wonder)

Teach phonics using concrete, tactile materials
Guide learners toward mastery of letters, sounds, and early sight words
Support writing development from simple sentences to structured paragraphs
Teach math through manipulatives first — counting, modeling shapes, addition/subtraction within 10
Introduce geography, science, and real-world concepts through experiential learning
Structure the day to honor natural energy rhythms

🌱 Cultivate Independence

🎨 Protect Play

The biggest mistake traditional kindergarten makes?
Too much academic pressure, too early.

Research shows early academic gains can fade — and sometimes reverse — by fourth grade. Play-based, hands-on environments often yield stronger long-term outcomes.

✝️ Model & Teach Faith

Introduce biblical truth in engaging, age-appropriate ways
Model Christ-like character
Reinforce integrity, kindness, bravery, and self-governance
Build identity rooted in being known and loved by God

🧩 Who You Are

This role requires a very specific type of person.

You are:

Structured but playful
Calm but energetic
Firm but warm
Organized but creative
Able to build predictable routines
Able to pivot when a 6-year-old melts down
Comfortable leading 15–18 young learners independently
Deeply respectful of childhood
Committed to faith-based formation

🎒 Assistant Coach (Academic + Adventure Support)

Position Overview:

Are you energized by kids, excited about learning, and ready to help build something truly different? We’re looking for both full-time and part-time Assistant Coaches to join our Apogee Anson team—a dynamic, fast-paced, deeply relational environment where learners (Trailblazers) grow not just academically, but in courage, character, and creativity.

This role is hands-on, heart-led, and joy-filled. You’ll work side-by-side with our Lead Coaches to support both academic time and afternoon Adventures (our version of project-based learning). You won’t be stuck behind a desk or bound to a whiteboard. One moment you might be helping a Trailblazer master short vowels or regrouping, and the next you’ll be elbow-deep in cardboard prototypes, volcano experiments, or community-based projects.

What You’ll Do:

Support Academics: Walk alongside learners during focused academic time, offering encouragement, feedback, and small-group help when needed.
Dive Into Adventures: Assist with hands-on projects that blend science, history, and real-world problem solving.
Foster Relationships: Build trust and connection with Trailblazers through consistent support, high expectations, and a deep belief in their potential.
Adapt & Jump In: Flexibility is key. Whether leading a group, prepping materials, or calming a tough moment, you’re ready to step in wherever needed.
Champion Growth: Help learners track their goals, reflect on their work, and take pride in their progress.

🧭 You Might Be a Great Fit If:

You have experience with kids (camp, coaching, tutoring, etc.) and a passion for their growth.
You believe in learner-driven education and want to help build something meaningful.
You bring calm energy, a collaborative spirit, and a “let’s figure it out” mindset.
You’re organized, self-motivated, and excited to work as part of a tight-knit team.
You’re not afraid to be silly or to set a high bar for excellence.

This is a rewarding opportunity to be part of an education model that values creativity, independence, and collaboration. If you’re passionate about empowering young trailblazers to reach their full potential, we’d love to hear from you!

We are excited to join a growing network of Apogee Strong micro schools worldwide that are building on the success of the original Apogee micro school - Apogee Cedar Park.

Apogee Anson is the first Apogee micro school to launch in North Carolina.
