Application deadline is Friday, April 18th.
Three Rivers Village School is looking for a full- or part-time staff member for the 2025-2026 school year and beyond! We offer flexible scheduling and start-dates.
TRVS is a full-time day school for students ages 5-18, based on the Sudbury education model. The program is a fully self-governed community operated by direct democracy.

This job is great for someone who loves working with kids in an alternative educational setting and who is excited to expand their understanding of what learning can look like. Some responsibilities include student support and instruction, office administration, parent communication, and outreach. There is no degree or certification requirement for this position. Most work hours fall between the regular school hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, but a willingness to occasionally work additional hours on an as-needed basis for staff and committee meetings, public relations, family events, etc. is required. We are looking for applicants who are self-motivated, organized, and passionate about respecting and supporting kids.
Required Qualifications:
● Commitment to deepening one’s own understanding and knowledge of self-directed learning and self-directed education environments
● Strong self-management skills, including high levels of initiative and ability to authentically and effectively set priorities
● Belief in the natural impulse of children (and adults!) to strive for personal growth, and
commitment to one’s own personal growth
● Reliability, punctuality, and safety-consciousness
● High levels of professionalism, adaptability, and personal maturity
● Communication and literacy skills, including abilities to express thoughts in writing, tailor communication levels for different age groups and developmental levels, and interact effectively with children and adults from a wide variety of backgrounds
● Being an interested, interesting, engaged and passionate person
● High level of computer literacy, including familiarity with typical office applications
● Ability to pass required background checks
● General ability to physically participate in the school’s program, including the ability to move around the school premises regularly and make trips to local businesses and the nature trail.
