Oxbow Academy provides very specialized treatment. We are often the last hope to families in crisis who don't know where to turn. Make a real difference to families in need through joining the Oxbow team as our Middle School Teacher.

Our Middle School Teacher will work as part of our larger team in providing integrated care services to our students, which includes meeting their academic needs. Healthy relationships, novel and challenging experiences, and a relationship-driven approach are how we foster the healing process and create lasting change, and this happens just as much in the classroom as anywhere else.

Our goal is to provide hope where it has been lost, rebuild trust where it has been broken, and help these young men and their families move forward.
