Secondary School Teacher of Learning Support

About Our School

Atlanta International School (AIS) is a 3K to Grade 12 IB World School that brings together students, educators, and families from more than ninety countries. Guided by our three pillars of the IB Continuum, Intercultural Understanding, and Language Learning, AIS offers a globally minded, inquiry-driven education that prepares students to lead with purpose and integrity.

Our Buckhead Campus is an urban learning environment in the heart of Atlanta, giving students access to the cultural, academic, and professional opportunities of a major international city. Museums, universities, arts institutions, and civic organizations serve as extensions of our classrooms.

Our Sandy Springs Campus sits on twenty‑four wooded acres along the Chattahoochee River and is home to the Mouratoglou Atlanta Academy tennis program. This nature‑rich setting provides space for outdoor learning, partnerships, and unique student experiences.

Across both campuses, AIS delivers a unified curriculum through the full IB continuum. Students pursue multiple pathways to graduation, including the IB Diploma Programme, the IB Careers‑related Programme, AISx flexible pathways, and the AIS Impact Diploma. Within our diverse and multilingual community, students grow as critical thinkers, collaborators, and compassionate leaders who make a meaningful impact in the world.

Our school is committed to the safety and well‑being of every child. We maintain rigorous safeguarding practices to ensure a secure, supportive, and nurturing environment where all students can thrive.

The core purpose of this role is to empower students with mild learning needs to become courageous, reflective, and independent learners by ensuring equitable access to high‑quality instruction. The LS Teacher achieves this by designing and delivering targeted, student‑centered specialist instruction that aligns with the school's Definition of High Quality Learning and Teaching. They work within a tiered student support system to identify student needs and provide graduated, structured support to their assigned grade level and student caseload.

By collaborating with subject/classroom teachers, administrators, and other Support Services Team members, the LS Teacher guides the design and implementation of individualized learning plans (ILPs), provides differentiated instruction, testing accommodations, and leads small group interventions. Additionally, they participate in Student Support Teams, contribute to faculty professional development, and advocate for best practices in inclusive education across the school community.
