St. Croix Montessori School

St. Croix Montessori School is a day school serving 101 to 200 students in Stillwater, Minnesota. The school has no religious affiliation and bases its entire program on Montessori principles. Its mission centers on helping each child discover their potential through an education that honors the whole person and nurtures the natural love of learning.

Teaching at St. Croix Montessori requires a different approach than traditional classrooms. Montessori guides observe children carefully, prepare learning environments, and step back so students can follow their own interests. This means teachers spend less time lecturing and more time watching, listening, and supporting discovery. It demands patience with mixed-age groups and trust in child-led learning. For educators who want to facilitate rather than control, this method offers real intellectual reward.

The school maintains solid financial health. Net assets stood at $2.5 million in 2023, with revenue of $2.3 million and a growth trajectory the organization rates as flourishing. That stability matters for job candidates. It signals sustainable operations, adequate resources for classroom materials and professional development, and a school positioned to invest in its staff.

St. Croix Montessori School hires classroom guides, administrative positions, and support roles across its day program. Most openings align with the academic calendar, though hiring happens year-round as staffing needs arise.

For teachers seeking work in the Montessori method and a financially stable school community, St. Croix offers genuine opportunity. You will work in a Minnesota day school built on observation and child-centered discovery rather than standardized instruction.
