Special Education Teacher (Middle/High School Levels)

🌟 Special Education Teacher – Middle/High School Levels

📍 Private School | Holistic + Functional Education | Waldorf Meets ABA

We’re a small, innovative private school serving neurodiverse students — including those with Autism and related developmental differences — through an integrated approach that blends Waldorf-inspired education with ABA strategies.

We are seeking a dedicated, flexible, and compassionate Special Education Teacher to work with our middle and high school students, helping prepare them for the world beyond the classroom.

You’ll be guiding students through a rich and purposeful curriculum that balances functional academics with real-world skill-building. Instruction is hands-on, creative, and individualized, with a focus on:

• Job readiness: task training, vocational exploration, and community-based instruction


• Independent living skills: cooking, budgeting, time management, daily routines


• Social development: communication, relationship-building, and emotional regulation


• Academic instruction: functional literacy, math, and problem-solving adapted to real-life application

You’ll teach in small groups (2:1, 3:1, 5:1) and collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to support each student's path to independence and success.

• Has experience working with teens or young adults with Autism or related developmental differences


• Understands (or is excited to learn about) Waldorf and ABA teaching methods


• Is passionate about transition-focused education and life skills development


• Is creative, collaborative, and comfortable thinking outside the box


• Holds a Special Education credential (or equivalent experience)

• Hourly or salaried, depending on experience and preference


• Pay based on experience and qualifications


• Low student-to-teacher ratios for deeper connection and meaningful impact


• Supportive, team-driven culture that values curiosity, humor, and innovation

• Play a vital role in helping students build confidence, independence, and real-world readiness


• Be part of a school that values creativity over conformity, and connection over compliance


• Collaborate with a passionate team in a warm, respectful work environment


• Bring your unique gifts into a classroom that celebrates the individuality of every student

We're excited to meet an educator who’s ready to shape young lives and futures with heart, purpose, and creativity.
