The Schenck School is an independent day school for 250 Kindergarten through sixth-grade students with dyslexia located in Atlanta, Georgia. The School was founded in 1959 by David T. Schenck and uses the Orton-Gillingham approach. Our mission is to build a solid educational foundation for students with dyslexia and develop their rich potential. Our model is an intensive remediation model in which students come to us at all different grade levels - 3rd being our largest grade. Students stay for an average of 2-3 years and then outplace to other independent schools or public schools. We have two highly-trained teachers in each classroom, with a five-to-one student/teacher ratio.
As a K-6 Classroom Teacher at The Schenck School, you will support the mission of the School and possess a passion for working with K-6 students with dyslexia. You will work in a collaborative, co-taught classroom and understand and use appropriate teaching strategies according to each student’s needs. You will create effective and innovative lessons and materials to reach each student, assess, monitor, and communicate student progress, and be actively involved in the School’s extensive professional development program.
A comprehensive benefits package will be offered to eligible candidates, including health, dental, vision, supplemental insurance, Short-Term and Long-Term Disability, Life insurance, and a 403(b) retirement plan with match. Teacher salaries are competitive and are benchmarked with other independent schools on an annual basis.
