Heritage Academy is seeking a passionate and compassionate elementary teacher to join our team in a Grade 1/2 split classroom of five students.

We are a small, close-knit private school specializing in neurodiverse learners. While our classes are intentionally small, students require individualized programming, accommodations, and modifications to support a variety of learning needs, including but not limited to Autism Spectrum Disorder(level 1), ADHD, learning disabilities, and executive functioning challenges.

This role is ideal for an educator who enjoys relationship-based teaching, differentiated instruction, and collaborating with educational assistants, support staff, and families to help every student succeed.

• Monitor student progress and communicate regularly with parents.

Why Teach at Heritage?

• Small class sizes (the grade 1-2 is 5 students, max. class size is 14)
• All classroom supplies provided (no out-of-pocket spending)
• Funding for field trips and experiential learning
