About E2 Academy
E2 Academy is more than just a K–12 school — it's a community where twice-exceptional (2E) students can explore, belong, and thrive. These remarkable learners represent less than 2% of students province-wide, and E2 is one of only two schools in Alberta dedicated to their unique strengths and needs.
We offer a learner-centered, empirically grounded program with integrated supports that nurture independence, creativity, and self-advocacy. Our classrooms are lively, flexible spaces where curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking come together. We do not fix children, we help them adapt to a world that was not created with them in mind. Learn more at
The Opportunity
We are seeking a creative, patient, and adaptable teacher who thrives in a collaborative environment and believes that every student can succeed when their strengths are celebrated and their needs are understood.
This is a full-time teaching position within our K–12 program. Grade assignment will be based on school needs and individual strengths — we're more interested in the right fit for our community than in any one subject area or age range.
Our ideal candidate brings structure with flexibility, calm energy, curiosity, and an authentic commitment to helping neurodiverse learners grow both academically and emotionally.
You might be a great fit if you:
- Lead with empathy, humour, and patience — especially when things get unpredictable.
- See behaviour as communication and respond with curiosity, not control.
- Thrive in a collaborative, team-teaching model with specialists and learning facilitators.
- Build predictable routines that help students feel safe, but keep space for creativity and student voice.
- Design engaging, real-world learning experiences that adapt to diverse interests and learning styles.
- Value relationships as the foundation for all learning.
- Use positive reinforcement, gentle structure, and restorative practices to support regulation and growth.
- Believe in learning that's inclusive, inquiry-based, and rooted in connection.
Skills & Attributes
The ideal candidate brings a balance of structure and flexibility, with the professional and interpersonal skills needed to support a dynamic, student-centered environment.
Key skills and qualities include:
- Strong planning and organization skills — able to design clear, purposeful lessons and maintain thoughtful routines that support consistency and predictability for students.
- Compassion and empathy — approaches each student with understanding, curiosity, and care, recognizing the individuality of every learner.
- Patience and emotional regulation — maintains calm and composure, even in moments of student dysregulation or challenge.
- Deep understanding of the Alberta Program of Studies — able to interpret and apply curricular outcomes creatively while personalizing learning goals.
- Collaborative mindset — thrives in a team environment and values the shared expertise of colleagues and specialists.
- Reflective practice — open to feedback and continual learning, adapting strategies to meet evolving student needs.
- Strong communication — fosters positive, proactive relationships with students, families, and teammates.
