Careers
We are fully aware that the profession of teaching is undergoing a massive transformation. With the nation's teacher resignation crisis in full swing, teachers are burnt out from a cascade of systemic problems afflicting the public school system: the ever-worsening youth behavioral and mental health epidemic, decades of high-stakes and failing "education reform," and the learning disability epidemic, to name just a few.
We think it's time for a reset, and a completely different way to educate the next generation—one that respects the autonomy and creativity of both students and staff. If you the feel the same way, join us in reimagining education for the next generation.

Open Roles
Full-Time Lead Guide (6th-8th Grade)
Wilderland Academy is looking for a Lead Guide to help launch our inaugural 6th–8th grade program at Harmony Ranch in Eden, Utah. This is a small, intentional cohort — about 10 students — mostly kids who have grown up at Wilderland and are ready for something that feels genuinely different from elementary school. You won't be inheriting a broken program. You'll be extending a strong one into new territory: more student autonomy, deeper passion projects, real outdoor expeditions, and the kind of mentorship that middle schoolers actually remember. You'll work alongside a dedicated team, with a separate staff member handling core academics so you can focus on culture, character, and the whole-student experience. If you have a specialized background, there's real room to weave that into daily life here too. Full-time, competitive compensation, and a genuine nature-based school setting.

Full-Time Montessori Guide (K-2nd Grade)
Wilderland Academy is searching for a full-time Montessori Guide to join our founding Lead Educator at Cool Creek, our lower campus nestled along a stream corridor in Eden, Utah. This is an early childhood program for K–2 students — up to 20 kids in a mixed-age, hands-on environment where the ranch, the meadow, the seasons, and the stream are as much a part of the curriculum as anything on the shelves. We are looking for a guide whose Montessori practice extends beyond four walls — someone who sees the outdoor environment as a prepared space worthy of the same intentionality as the classroom, and who brings genuine curiosity about the living world alongside deep knowledge of the method. Full-time, competitive compensation, and a setting that will ruin exclusively indoor teaching for you permanently.
