JOB SUMMARY

Paideia is a preK-12 college preparatory school of over 1000 students in the Emory University area of Atlanta; the elementary school enrolls 350 students in grades K-6. The elementary program includes twelve full-day, self-contained classrooms. There are two teachers in each class of twenty-six to twenty-eight children. Teachers work together as lead teacher and assistant or as two co-lead teachers.

The curriculum for the classroom is built around a central subject and is self-contained. The self-contained classroom—one in which children spend most of their academic time in one room rather than moving about the school for different disciplines— puts children, rather than discrete subjects, at the center of focus. Students develop a strong bond with their teachers and classmates which provides for a secure and nurturing classroom climate.

Most of our classrooms are multi-age, meaning that the age range of the children spans one and a half to two years or the equivalent of two grades. This arrangement allows for both academic and social flexibility.

Learning specialists:

The elementary learning specialist coordinates information about individual student learning profiles and collaborates with students, families, and teachers to develop learning plans and strategies for students who need extra academic support.
