Perth Children’s House is excited to hire a Montessori Lead Lower Elementary teacher to work in our Elementary Montessori Program.

About Us…
Perth Children’s House Montessori School (Casa Program) was founded in 1974 by a dedicated group of parents in the Perth area who decided that their children, and their community, needed another option for early education. Perth Children’s House is located in beautiful downtown, heritage Perth and continues to be a parent-run organization where parents enjoy taking an active role in the school. Our school is dedicated to providing a nurturing and inspiring learning environment for our students.

In September 2020, Perth Children’s House expanded by opening a second location. Since then, the school has purchased its own facility on five beautiful acres just outside of Perth.

We now proudly offer a comprehensive Elementary Montessori program, which includes Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and a Junior High program known as Erdkinder.

Perth Children’s House continues to grow!
