Thank you for visiting the Suzuki School career portal! We have an amazing faculty comprised of Montessori and Associate Teachers at our three campuses, with prime locations in Atlanta. We seek to hire passionate educators from diverse backgrounds including those who have studied education and also those from other professions and backgrounds who are interested in pursuing a teaching career. This is a place for those who are passionate about early childhood education, and for those who are interested in learning more about the Montessori teaching philosophy.

We are a unique preschool environment, and probably not what you would expect from a school for young children. We were founded as a traditional preschool in 1976 and eventually recognized that Montessori education was a truly transformational way to educate young children. Over the course of several years, we slowly transitioned to an authentic Montessori school, complete with Montessori certified teachers. Our culture encourages personal growth, collaboration, and excellence in every aspect of our organization from how we teach, to the meals we serve our students, to the facilities where we work, and also in how our leadership sets forth a culture of welcome and respect.

Hiring passionate employees from a variety of backgrounds fosters diversity and brings forth an exciting and challenging learning environment. As a school that values a life-long love of learning for both our students and our faculty, we put a heavy focus on faculty education - so much so, that we operate an accredited Montessori Teacher Education Institute so that those who want to become Montessori certified teachers are able to pursue their passion. We are also proud that the training center offers Associate training along with a variety of topics and trainings open to the Metro-Atlanta area early childhood community.

We do hope that you’ll consider joining our team of professionals dedicated to instilling the love of learning in every student. We would love to share our community with you!
