Rewild Your Workday!
We are now looking for creative and passionate individuals to build our Rewilding School family.
Imagine a school driven by students’ interests, not by a rigid curriculum. Imagine being able to support kids through challenging times and help them grow as human beings. Imagine a school school has no screens, no pens, no paper--one that isn’t a school at all- but instead the hallways and classrooms are the streams, fields, and forests of our local outdoor spaces.
​
What we offer at the Rewilding School is a new approach to learning. One in which students and educators are given space to learn and grow as humans; where play and imagination are at the center of everything, and are employees are treated with the focus and respect that all working people deserve.
​
As of our Fall 2024 season, we are currently hiring for the following positions:
