Description

Independence Preparatory Academy is a new, academically challenging, highly structured, and joyful K-8 school in Fairfield, AL. We are on a mission to equip all students with the academic tenacity and strength of character necessary to choose their destiny and create a fulfilling life. We develop empowered learners through agency, purpose, and tenacity. 

In August 2025, Independence Preparatory Academy opened its doors to 60 students in kindergarten through second grade. We will continue to grow until we reach a total capacity of 485 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. We are actively building a team that shares our belief that with rigorous academics, high-quality instruction, and character development, all students can excel in high school, college, and life.

EMBRACE YOUR CALLING 

Are you passionate about ensuring that all scholars—including those with diverse learning needs—receive the support they need to thrive? Do you believe that every child can achieve at high levels when given the right scaffolds, structure, and care? Are you energized by working closely with teachers to provide targeted, small-group, and individualized support? If so, Independence Preparatory Academy could be your perfect fit.

To achieve our vision, we seek a Learning Diversity Associate (Special Education Support) with at least two years of college (an Associate degree is preferred) and at least 3 years of professional work experience who desires growth in a feedback-driven, supportive environment.

The Learning Diversity Associate serves as a critical classroom-based support for scholars receiving special education services, operating similarly to a teacher assistant with a focus on inclusion, intervention, and individualized support.

LDAs work under the guidance of the Learning Diversity Specialist to ensure that scholars with IEPs and other learning needs can access grade-level content, build independence, and achieve mastery.
