Maplebrook School

Maplebrook School is a small boarding school in Amenia, New York. It serves fewer than 100 students across middle school, high school, and post-graduate programs. Every student here has a learning difference or learning disorder. That single fact shapes every job on campus.

Teaching at Maplebrook School means small-group and one-on-one instruction every day. There are no large lecture classes. Teachers build individualized plans and track progress across academic, social, vocational, and physical goals. The work is specific and hands-on. Staff also support a residential environment designed to feel like a home, not an institution. That means educators are present in students' daily lives well beyond classroom hours.

Roles here tend to attract candidates with backgrounds in special education, learning disabilities, or therapeutic support. Because the school is so small, each hire is visible and carries real weight. Teachers in Amenia often describe a level of student contact that simply isn't possible at a larger school. That access is one of the most concrete benefits the position offers, alongside a residential faculty role that typically includes room and board as part of the compensation package.

Maplebrook School reported nearly $4.5 million in revenue in 2023 and holds roughly $11.4 million in net assets. Fundraising has grown at close to 50 percent, signaling active investment in programs and staffing. The financial base is modest but stable.

Open faculty and staff positions span academic instruction, residential life, and student support services. New York State candidates with special education licensure are especially well positioned to apply.
