We are currently seeking an experienced Dorm Parents/ADL Teacher. Dorm Parent Dorm Parents at Hampshire Country School have two equally important functions: The first is to create a family-style living space in the dorm where students can feel at ease and learn basic self-care and housekeeping skills. The second major function of a Dorm Parent is to lead fun activities with a strong educational foundation, complete with opportunities for social connection and outdoor adventure. Dorm parents may be the first to recognize growth spurts both physical and developmental, they offer refuge on challenging days, they help students learn to speak up for themselves, and they model how students can become better caretakers of our learning community. What is Hampshire Country School? Hampshire Country School is a very small and highly specialized boarding school community comprised of faculty, students, and families who are joined in our commitment to provide misunderstood, twice-exceptional boys the chance to have the best school experience possible.  For 76 years HCS has served as a beacon for bright students who have struggled to find success elsewhere can come and find a home filled with knowledgeable adults who care deeply about their experience, and cherish them for who they are. “To be great is to be misunderstood.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson HCS is a Country School with a working farm and nearly 2,000 acres of land. The academic program is “intentionally-teched”, often analog, and moves a bit more slowly in many ways. Hampshire Country School students are sometimes referred to “twice-exceptional”; we enroll students who are both objectively brilliant, and work incredibly hard to manage their unique and exceptional challenges in domains like emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory processing, classroom avoidance, and social communication. Many of our students have been harnessed with labels like ADHD, ASD1, and NVLD. At HCS we intentionally blind ourselves to these diagnoses, view our odd and wonderful students as individuals, and work to support their social, emotional, and academic life through relationships, wilderness exploration, and light-hearted understanding.  This is the place where you will work, learn, and grow.  Who are we, that work at HCS? We appreciate living in a beautiful and rural setting surrounded by wilderness and agriculture. We have extraordinarily quick wits, thick skin, and are experts are keeping life light-hearted. We are models of resilience and good humor (even after having a piece of chalk hurled in our general direction). We are flexible and we teach flexibility (sometimes to rigid thinkers!). We are willing and able to pivot, sometimes constantly. We are most successful when we are not too terribly attached to a specific outcome and we often giggle after watching our plans crash and burn. We work very hard, support each other, and are not satisfied with stagnating. We are all eager to do better tomorrow than we did today, and are aiming at world-class educational experiences, not simply a “very good school”. We shovel snow off the stairs. We have had the life experience necessary for becoming experts at our own emotional regulation. We know when to take a break, we are aware of how our moods can affect the community, and none of us are afraid to go an extra mile (literally or figuratively) for our students. We are all experienced and/or deeply curious about neurodivergence and twice-exceptional students. We are constantly educating ourselves and each other; sharing observations, exploring teaching techniques, and capitalizing on our student relationships. Hampshire Country School faculty are experts at patiently and thoughtfully building healthy, productive, relationships. Our faculty works hard with challenging students and none of us ever presumes malice when other explanations are even remotely available. We understand that all behavior is communication.  Hampshire Country School (HCS) is a 10 month boarding school in southern New Hampshire for high-ability, neurodiverse boys enrolling in later elementary or middle school. HCS offers understanding, light-heartedness, and structure to educate boys in a family-style, supportive, and collaborative learning community.
