The-Lab-School-of-Washington

The Lab School is a top-notch educational institution with excellent services and a child-centered philosophy. Any position here is challenging and requires hard work and dedication.

The opportunities for learning and career development are rich and varied. However, the work requires one to be strong, creative and self-directive. Talent is appreciated but must be accompanied by obvious ability to be a good team member with a positive attitude.

Working with children with learning differences is challenging, rewarding, frustrating, thrilling and educational. At the Lab School the demands are great, but staff are provided with support, encouragement, and professional development. 

The population of students at the Lab School is diverse. Some have severe issues and others have few. The students are generally very intelligent and appreciative of their opportunities, having experienced failure in a previous school. Serving them, however, requires flexibility and the ability to continually analyze and reanalyze one's approach and expectations to suit the learners' needs.

The Lab School of Washington is a great school for students and an amazing learning environment for teachers.

The Lab School of Washington is a school for students who encounter learning challenges being in a public school setting. 

Having worked at Lab for over five years, I've worked in numerous departments, learning new skills along the way which gives me a since of job security. Even though your work schedule here is structured, there is room for flexibility for those who go to school, have kids, etc. 

If you are a teacher or a person who enjoys working around kids, I highly recommend Lab!

This was a great place to work. The kids are fantastic though challenging to work with. Built great relationships with both students and coworkers. Very much felt a sense of belonging within the school culture. Administration (higher ups) can be a bit shady in their practices and not always super supportive. Great freedom when it comes to what you can do in the classroom and how you want to tailor your curriculum, a big plus.

Lab School of Washington was one of the best places to work at under the founder/director. It was like a family and staff were allowed to share their ideas and the instituion was a non-profit research oriented place. At some point, the Lab School had more than 80% of its students funded by different jurisdictions and had many departments such as Night School and Tutoring available to the whole community. All the rating above were just excellent.

If I did not have to relocate, I would remain here.  The environment is great, the people are exceptionally talented and committed to the mission and the Management is caring, professional and considerate of employees, recognizing the whole person and welcoming each one's uniqueness as a valued contribution to the entire organization.

It started great here, but after restructuring of administration it took a pretty terrible turn. I hope that since I've left there's been improvements, but I'm just not sure. There are so many very talented teachers and so many great, creative things happening in the classrooms. 

The variety of events that take place at the LSW are amazing. A very fun place to work and a great group of student and faculty to be amongst. Wonderful opportunity to pass on and pay forward within the community.

each department has their flaws. mine was more family orientated. we were a small group but always got the job done. compensation was terrible for the amount of work i did and saw no opportunity for a major raise or advancement
