Faculty and Staff

Our faculty and staff (we lovingly call them “staffulty”) make us who we are: the community where children with language-based learning differences thrive. 

“I can’t remember anyone saying ‘no’ here. Again and again, I am blown away by the knowledge of the staff, and the flexibility I am afforded around my own ideas. We feed off each other’s ideas and build on our own, which makes collaborating with colleagues and the administration absolutely energizing. I mean who doesn’t want to rock it in the classroom with that kind of support and excitement around education?”
—    Upper School English teacher

At The Lab School, faculty and staff teach from each child’s strengths. Eighty percent of Lab’s student-facing faculty hold advanced degrees in addition to their teaching certifications. What’s more, Lab staffulty are trained in multiple methods, including Orton-Gillingham, a multi-sensory approach where teachers use sight, hearing, touch and movement to help students connect language with letters and words.

Lab staffulty also have more than training: they have years, often decades, of experience working with students with language-based learning differences. Because of this expertise, Lab staffulty tailor their teaching methods and approach to individual students, ensuring that students are met where they are and given what they need to grow.

We encourage you to get to know our outstanding faculty and staff below.
