Academy Teacher (ABA-Integrated Classroom) & RBT

Position Overview

We are seeking a passionate educator for a unique hybrid role that blends lead classroom teaching with applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for a unique K-3 private school program One of the Kids Academy for students on the autism spectrum. This position is ideal for someone who identifies first as a teacher and is excited to integrate behavioral strategies into an individualized, high-impact learning environment.

During the school year, this role will primarily function as an Academy Teacher in the morning hours, responsible for planning and delivering instruction, managing the classroom, and driving student academic progress. In the afternoon, the role transitions to providing direct services as an RBT, with ABA responsibilities integrated throughout the day and supported by clinical supervision.

During the summer months, this position transitions to a full-time RBT role, providing direct 1:1 ABA services to clients.

This is a strong opportunity for educators who want more autonomy, smaller class sizes, and the ability to truly individualize instruction while collaborating with a clinical team.
