THIS IS NOT A STANDARD CLASSROOM JOB.

You have probably spent years being good at a job that never had room for all of it. The range you have, the ideas you never got to try, the children you wanted to actually know and never had the time to. That is the part of you this role is built around.

Livewell is a private learning community in Pleasanton serving children from PreK through 12th grade across two studio locations. This role leads our upper studio, a blended-age environment of twelve or fewer children in grades 3 through 8. We want the children here to run their own projects, garden, cook, learn survival skills, and do real math every day, because we teach them how to think rather than what to think. What we are building toward is children who can reason for themselves and lead without being told to. A guide leads each studio across the entire day and designs the experiences that carry a six week theme.
