WHY LARAWAY??
Laraway is an independent school where we focus on the student, meeting them where they are and helping everyone learn “their” way. This is “big work”, so we do things differently for our team too. We often hear new team members talk about how much support they get at LYFS compared to other employers. Our retention speaks to that, with a current average tenure of over 8 years and 36% of our staff averaging 17 years! Join us to see what it’s like to be appreciated.
