Your challenge is to make learning fun! CHOICE is a revolutionary school. Rather than imparting knowledge to younger people, a guide creates challenges ahead of time that empower children to “learn to learn”, “learn to do,” and “learn to be.”

.

We are seeking a Quest Guide for the Middle School studio. What is a Quest Guide? A Quest is a three to six week series of hands-on learning challenges. It is bound by individual and team-based gamification, a compelling narrative, and ends with a high-stakes Exhibition of learning.

The "work" for a guide is done ahead of time. Quests are created so the guide is not "needed" to impart any information during school. During school, guides observe, inspire and enjoy the young people! We have resources to help you create quests - yet it will also require your creativity and organization. The best quests are full of games and hands-on challenges.

CHOICE is a K-9 independent school located in Woods Cross, Utah that provides a truly unique and revolutionary “disruptive” educational model and is affiliated with the Acton Academy Network. We emphasize Socratic guidance as opposed to traditional teaching, mixed-aged classrooms with a self-paced curriculum as opposed to grade-levels, and life-oriented quests that culminate in a public exhibition of their learning as opposed to test scores and report cards. Within the boundaries of safe guardrails, students (and their families) are empowered to be in the driver seat of their learning in an environment that is truly theirs. Moreover, our goal is to support each learner on their Hero’s Journey as they seek to find callings and change the world. Each day is an exciting experiment in motivation, passion and community.
