Alternative Education Classroom Assistant

Fryeburg Academy, a 700-student day and boarding high school located in Western Maine/the Mount Washington Valley, seeks a classroom assistant for the Alternative School beginning in the fall of 2026.

The Alternative School provides personalized support and flexible blended learning models of instruction to 3rd and 4th year students who have been unsuccessful in the traditional school setting and whose strengths may not have been reflected in their past school performance.
