Resurrection Episcopal Day School

Resurrection Episcopal Day School is a small Montessori community in Manhattan serving preschool-age children in mixed-age classrooms. Enrollment is under 100 students. The school operates a three-year program built on Maria Montessori's educational philosophy and certified by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). This approach shapes how teachers prepare classroom environments, observe children, and guide learning across developmental stages.

Teaching here means observing before directing. Montessori educators watch each child's interests and readiness. They prepare classrooms where students choose much of their own work. Teachers step in to guide, not lead. The Episcopal mission welcomes families of many ethnic and religious backgrounds. That diversity ripples through classroom life and shapes the school's values daily. Faculty work together to build spaces where children grow independence, focus, and practical skills alongside early academics.

Mixed-age classrooms set the tone. A single prepared room holds children at different developmental points. Teachers guide all of them at once. This requires AMI training and a skill set different from traditional graded schools. It also creates a slower pace, deeper relationships with students, and time to know each family well. Candidates drawn to early childhood and hands-on teaching find this structure rewarding.

Resurrection Episcopal Day School hires for Montessori teaching positions, classroom assistants, and support roles throughout the year. As a small, close-knit community, every hire shapes daily life for students and staff. For educators seeking meaningful early childhood work in a day school setting in New York City, this school offers a chance to practice Montessori methods within an inclusive, values-centered environment.
