Nestled on 450 lakefront acres, Wediko serves youth from across the region including Hillsborough, Antrim, Henniker, Keene, Washington, the Monadnock Region, and the Concord NH area, in a setting that combines therapeutic education, behavioral support, and academic growth.

This is more than a teaching job-it's a chance to be part of a mission-driven team committed to individualized learning, trauma-informed care, and whole-child development in a non-public school setting.

Why Wediko?

At the Wediko School, we serve students whose learning journeys are best supported by small class sizes, individualized instruction, and consistent therapeutic support. As a Special Education Teacher, you'll provide critical structure, encouragement, and personalized instruction that helps students thrive academically and emotionally. You'll collaborate with a team of educators, clinicians, and residential counselors to create an environment where students feel seen, supported, and empowered.
