Frostig School

Frostig School is a day school in Pasadena, California, enrolling 101 to 200 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades. The school serves children with learning disabilities—dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and related conditions. It operates as part of the Frostig Center, an organization that combines classroom teaching, research in learning science, and professional training under one roof. This structure means your teaching happens inside a working laboratory where evidence shapes how lessons are built.

Teaching at Frostig School differs from most independent schools because research directly informs your classroom practice. You will not follow a generic curriculum. Instead, findings from the Center's ongoing studies are translated into instructional methods your team uses. Faculty observations feed back into the research cycle, which then shapes professional development. The result is a feedback loop rather than top-down mandates. Your work with students with learning disabilities becomes data that improves how the whole organization teaches.

Frostig School maintains strong finances with solid fundraising growth. Compensation packages include health insurance, retirement contributions, and funding for professional development. The school's non-denominational stance means faculty of all backgrounds find community here.

Frostig School hires teachers for elementary, middle, and high school divisions, learning support specialists, and administrative staff. Math, reading, science, and special education roles open regularly. Multi-level structure creates hiring throughout the year, not just summer cycles.

For teachers with training in learning disabilities or evidence-based instruction, Frostig offers a specialized fit. The work is demanding and measurable. You join colleagues where your professional growth connects to real science, and where student progress can be tracked and adjusted based on data.
