Preschool Director

Guidepost Montessori is looking for a bold, driven leader to become our next Head of School in the Katy area — and help build something extraordinary along the way. Guidepost Montessori is a community of educators who believe today's traditional education system is broken: outdated, rigid, and out of step with what kids actually need to thrive.
