Some other things you should know about us :

We're building a new kind of school that doesn't have a formula to follow. There is no 'how-to' book for our community. We're making it ourselves.

That requires people who can embrace vulnerability, take initiative, learn from mistakes, and be open to giving and receiving feedback.

We don't have all of the answers, and we're okay with that. If you're looking for certainty, we suggest you pursue a position in a factory (or a factory-like school).

Bricolage is being built as we speak. It's a magical place, but an imperfect one. Everyone at Bricolage has successes and failures.

You will experience both.

We’re looking for a special kind of person. If this sounds like you, please apply. We can’t wait to meet you.
