The Siena School

The Siena School is a day school in Silver Spring, Maryland, enrolling 101 to 200 students across elementary through high school. The school's single focus is preparing bright, college-bound students with language-based learning differences—primarily dyslexia—to become confident learners who understand their strengths and master practical strategies for success.

This mission shapes the teaching role fundamentally. Faculty work with intellectually capable students who process written language differently. Instruction uses research-based, multisensory techniques applied one-to-one and in small groups. Class sizes stay intentionally small, so teachers spend less time on compliance paperwork and more time watching students grasp material that once felt unreachable. That daily structure differs sharply from large public school settings.

The Siena School maintains rigorous, grade-level curriculum. Students access challenging content through accommodations and instructional adaptations designed for language-based learners. Spanish and additional language programs expand student opportunity beyond literacy intervention alone.

Teaching positions include classroom teachers, literacy specialists, special education staff, and academic coaches. The Siena School hires year-round as enrollment grows and roles open. The school actively seeks educators who understand dyslexia, value personalized instruction, and believe learning differences do not limit potential.

For faculty drawn to specialized instruction and measurable student growth, this work delivers visible impact. Silver Spring sits within commuting distance of greater Washington, D.C., offering a suburban Maryland location with urban proximity. The school forms a tight community centered on learning science and student strength, where each hire contributes directly to instructional culture.
