Connected Circles is an approved small independent therapeutic school in Vermont where student success happens through one-on-one connection in the context of community. We create safe and supportive learning environments grounded in student autonomy and choice, where students build the skills to succeed in life.
We are looking to hire a Social Studies teacher for incredibly rewarding work with some of our most vulnerable youth.

Role: Teachers provide academic instruction, support socio-emotional growth, model appropriate social behaviors and communication norms, and set and keep healthy boundaries.
If you believe in life-long learning and have a growth-mindset (for self and others), this is the place to be. This job is not easy – every day is an adventure and a challenge, but one that is rewarding tenfold for those who are passionate!
