I applied through other source. I interviewed at Guidepost Montessori (Marlborough, MA) in Nov 2023
Interview
It was virtual, I met with the head of the school and with someone from the company. They were both absolutely lovely and seemed passionate about Montessori and teaching in general. Easy interview because they were so friendly and easy to talk to - open to my answers and asked follow-up questions to go a little deeper.
