Pros

This is my seventh year as a Montessori Guide, but my first year with Guidepost. They have been transparent and supportive every step of the way. All personnel responsible for the transition (our school was bought by GP) have been warm and encouraging. As a guide, I feel heard and supported. They have spared no expense in ordering materials that are needed or providing constant professional development. They have also provided much needed curriculum in the areas of reading, writing, science and art. The lessons are easy to deliver and engaging for all students. As a parent, they communicate well and efficiently through email and apps. This is a wonderful company to work for and I'm proud to have my children attend as well.

Cons

As stated above, they provide lots of PD and curriculum, which may be overwhelming to some in terms of keeping up with the demands. Teachers are required to post several times a week per child on Transparent Classroom, so teachers should be comfortable with tech and implement a system to ensure they meet the weekly requirements.

Pros

I have been with Guidepost for almost four years, and I am extremely happy in my role as a Children’s House Lead Guide. I truly couldn’t ask for a better position. The work environment is very positive, and I am surrounded by kind, supportive colleagues. The leadership is exceptional—our Head of School is an amazing, understanding, and uplifting person who creates a culture where everyone feels valued we feel supported and I’ve learn so many new skills. Even in last-minute or challenging situations, she responds with positivity and grace. I feel very supported and appreciated every day.

Cons

There are very few downsides to mention. Like any workplace, occasional last-minute situations can arise, but they are handled very well by head of school.

Pros

I’ve been at Guidepost for four years, and it has truly been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. Watching each child grow, gain confidence, and thrive is a joy I never take for granted. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t wholeheartedly believe in the work we do. The safety and wellbeing of every child is at the center of our mission, and I wouldn’t recommend this school if I didn’t fully trust that each child is cared for with genuine respect, compassion, and intention. Beyond the incredible environment we create for our children, the team here is something special. We support, trust, and genuinely care about one another. I couldn’t write this review without mentioning our admin team. They have created a culture of care, respect, and trust with the staff. They guide us, encourages us, and continually helps us grow. Working at Guidepost has been a magical experience.

Cons

Honestly, there’s not much that I would deem a “con”
