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 students on the autism spectrum with higher support independence, helping prepare them for the world beyond the classroom.

You’ll be leading 12 students ages 7-11, with 2 teaching assistants, 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 and collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to support each student’s path to independence and success.

• Has experience working with students 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)
• Has or is currently working on a teaching license/certificate

• 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.
