Help teenagers regain academic self-confidence in a therapeutic setting as they progress on their healing journey. Located near Three Peaks Recreational Park and overlooking Cedar City, Utah, Discovery Ranch South is a relationship-based residential treatment center based in experiential therapy.

This is a floating TA position. As our Teacher’s Aide, you will help teachers provide classroom instruction in Social Studies, Science, Math or Language Arts depending on need. Under the direction of classroom teachers you will help middle and high school students learn the curriculum, work on assignments, practice study skills and prepare for tests. TA’s also meet weekly with a few advisees to set goals, monitor progress and provide encouragement.

At Discovery Ranch South, we believe in a holistic approach: we address not just our students’ emotional needs, but also their physical, intellectual, environmental, and social ones. Therefore you will work closely with our Teachers, Academic Director, and other Teacher’s Aides as well as coordinate with other departments to ensure we are providing our students with consistent, quality instruction and working together as a unified team.

Often the relationships formed one-on-one, such as with TAs, are the most meaningful to our students and essential to creating deep and lasting change. Being on a committed, close-knit team and helping students who really need you will be your most rewarding and inspiring job yet.
