Join The X Team | X School

Help Us Build the Future of Learning

At X, we believe that learning leads to thriving for life.

We're not building a traditional school. We're building a learning community where children are known, challenged, supported, and trusted to take ownership of their growth.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for extraordinary humans to join our team. Not just educators.

Mentors.

Builders.

Designers.

Coaches.

Parents.

Lifelong learners.

People who understand that the guide in the room often matters more than the lesson plan.

Why Work at X?

Our Guides don't stand at the front of a classroom delivering lectures. Instead, they walk alongside learners, helping them build confidence, independence, resilience, curiosity, and purpose.

Our team works together to create experiences that help children:

Learn to Be
Learn to Learn
Learn to Think
Learn to Do

Every day is different. Every learner is different. And that's exactly why we love it.

1. We've tried to be upfront in the job posting about what this role is and isn't, including who might not be a great fit. What drew you to apply anyway, and is there anything in that posting that gave you pause?

2. Tell us about a specific moment with a child that didn't go the way you expected, whether that's a mistake you made, a moment they surprised you, or a time things got harder than you thought they would. What happened, and what did you take from it?

3. Which of these feels closest to true for you: children need more structure than freedom, more freedom than structure, or a thoughtful balance of both? And why?

4. What concerns you about learner-led education?

5. We've described X School as a place that's still being built, which means real ambiguity and a need for flexibility from everyone here. On a scale of 1 to 10, how comfortable are you with ambiguity and change, day to day?

6. In terms of your answer to question 5, tell us about a moment in your own life that effectively demonstrates your rating of yourself on ambiguity and change.
