About Greentree Montessori:

Founded in 1990, Greentree Montessori has established itself as a pioneering educational institution in Singapore, dedicated to nurturing young minds through child-led, relationship-based pedagogy.

Job Overview:

At Greentree, every teacher is a changemaker. Here, you’ll guide children to become confident, independent, and responsible individuals who care for themselves, others, and the world around them. You’ll nurture curiosity, encourage deep thinking, and develop life skills that last a lifetime.

You will have opportunities to build strong partnerships with families, shape a positive, high-performance team culture, plan and lead your own initiatives, collaborate with international educators, contribute to overseas projects, and even explore roles in training and school operations. Talent is recognized, trusted, and given room to grow.
