Working Hours & Schedule

Our working style is similar to that of a company employee. You will work 8 hours per day, with a 1-hour break. The workweek is 5 days, with 2 days off, which typically fall on weekdays.

Class Structure & Size

Classes at Earl Montessori vary in duration, either 1.5 hours or 3 hours, depending on the daily schedule. We maintain a small class size, with no more than 4 children per classroom. If a class has more than 4 children, an additional teacher will be assigned to ensure personalized attention. For example, you might simultaneously teach a 3-hour class with one child and a 1.5-hour class with two children, with their class end times differing.

Branch Team Structure

Each branch typically operates with a team of 1-2 teachers, 1 Thai assistant teacher, and 1 branch salesperson.
