Wichita Collegiate School (WCS), a thriving Independent School located in Wichita, KS, will add a part-time Middle School Learning Lab Teacher to our team for the 2025/26 school year. Learning Lab Instructors are responsible for providing assistance to Middle School Students (Grades 5-8) to enhance their overall skills and abilities of each individual student.

These supports include academic support, executive functioning skill development, as well as other specialized needs that students may require.

Along with supporting students individually, Learning Lab Instructors will assist in providing necessary accommodations for students when necessary.
