Teaching at Sabot is special, read below for just a few reasons why you should consider joining our team.

Why Join Sabot:

• Student-Centered Approach: Teach like you’ve always wanted to. At Sabot, we provide a unique child-led learning experience within a Reggio-inspired framework, where each student's unique voice and perspective are celebrated, with particular attention given to the social-emotional learning needs of children. You can learn more about our approach here.
• Small Class Sizes: The Reggio-inspired classroom model has two teachers per section from Preschool to Grade 5. Not only does this model support our innovative student-centered curriculum, but it also keeps our student/teacher ratio much lower than peer schools. Our average K-8 class size is between 12 to 16 students, with preschool classes between 8 to 14 students.
