About The Position

Hyde Park Day School (HPDS) is the leading educational program in the Chicago metropolitan area dedicated exclusively to bright students with learning disabilities. We are currently seeking a passionate, patient, and dedicated Elementary Education Teacher to join our Chicago Campus. If you are motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, teach in a supportive and structured environment, and focus your energy on instruction-not bureaucracy-this is the role for you. At HPDS, we believe every student deserves the chance to reach their full potential. Our students, ages 6 to 15, have average to above‑average intelligence but require specialized instructional strategies to succeed academically. Unlike traditional learning environments, we admit only students with moderate to severe learning disabilities and screen for behavioral and emotional concerns-ensuring classrooms are focused, supportive, and designed for success. Our mission is rooted deeply in empowerment. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where students can build self-esteem, develop essential learning strategies, and rediscover the joy of learning. As part of our team, you will play a central role in guiding students through this transformative experience. What sets HPDS apart is our commitment to ensuring teachers have the tools, staff support, and instructional structure they need to excel. Teachers at HPDS enjoy: Small instructional groups with a remarkable 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio, providing unmatched opportunities for individualized attention. A state-of-the-art instructional and assistive technology program that enhances engagement and supports differentiated learning. A robust clinical team, including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and social workers, who collaborate with instructional staff to create comprehensive learning plans. A strong emphasis on professional development, including access to instructional coaches, ongoing training, and certification opportunities. FREE Wilson Language Training certification, as HPDS is a Wilson Language Training partner school. A positive, collaborative environment that prioritizes teachers' growth and professional well‑being. Adherence to CDC and IDPH COVID protocols that have enabled years of consistent in-person instruction, offering stability for teachers and students alike.
