We are looking for Elementary Teacher’s – Autism Program who believe that strong relationships are the foundation of learning. The right candidate will create a classroom where students feel known, challenged, and encouraged to grow both academically and socially.
Our students are bright, capable children who often need a school environment that recognizes how communication, regulation, and emotional development connect to learning. In this program, academic growth happens through engagement, connection, and meaningful interaction.
Classrooms are supported by a collaborative team that includes teachers, clinicians, developmental specialists, and leadership who work closely together to understand each student and support their growth. Teachers are not working alone. They are part of a thoughtful team focused on helping students build the skills that support independence, communication, and learning.
We are looking for educators who believe that relationships are the foundation of teaching and that students grow best when they are met where they are developmentally. This is an opportunity to help shape a new program and be part of a mission-driven school community committed to helping students with autism thrive.
