Marburn Academy

Marburn Academy is an independent day school in New Albany, Ohio, serving more than 300 students in grades 1–12 across elementary, middle, and high school divisions. The school was built around a single mission: educate students who learn differently due to dyslexia, executive function difficulties, and attention challenges. It holds rare Orton-Gillingham Academy accreditation for language instruction—a distinction shared by only 19 schools globally—and operates without religious affiliation.

Teaching here means using evidence-based methods with students mainstream schools often overlook. Faculty teach structured literacy, coach executive function skills, and adjust pacing to each learner's needs. Class sizes stay small. You see how your instruction compounds over weeks and months. This is specialized teaching, not remedial work—the difference matters in how you frame your role and measure success.

The school's financial health supports the mission. Strong fundraising and solid net assets fund competitive salaries, professional development in literacy methods, and staffing ratios that keep classes small. Central Ohio's moderate cost of living stretches compensation further than coastal independent school markets do.

Marburn Academy hires year-round for classroom teachers across all divisions, literacy specialists, executive function coaches, and administrative roles. Current openings reflect enrollment growth and the school's commitment to low student-to-staff ratios. Benefits include tuition assistance, professional development in Orton-Gillingham methods, and ongoing training in evidence-based literacy instruction.

For educators drawn to specialized instruction and students with learning differences, the school was built for that mission—not adapted to it later.
