In any given year, Greenwich Academy supports fellows in a range of academic disciplines. As our hiring needs for 2023-24 become more clear, we will revise this posting to indicate the department(s) in which there are openings. In the meantime, we welcome all applications but may not reply until our needs are clearer.
Middle and Upper School Teaching Fellows
Greenwich Academy welcomes one- and two-year Middle School and Upper School teaching fellows in a program that includes housing, benefits, and financial support of graduate study.
Fellows enjoy the professional support of both academic and administrative mentors. With a modified teaching schedule, fellows are able to take full advantage of other aspects of campus life, and many coach, serve as advisors, and support student publications or clubs. Mentors offer periodic observations, bi-weekly meetings, and professional development opportunities in a collaborative setting.
Fellows who wish to pursue graduate work during their time here are encouraged to do so and will receive financial support from Greenwich Academy. Recent Fellows and new teachers have participated in graduate study at Middlebury’s Bread Loaf School of English, Columbia University, Bank Street Graduate School of Education and Manhattanville College.
Greenwich Academy seeks beginning teachers eager to learn and grow in a supportive and challenging academic community. The school expects all teachers to embrace a commitment to a variety of teaching strategies, to be enthusiastic learners themselves, and to be dedicated to sustaining a culture of anti-racism and anti-bias in our community.
University of Pennsylvania Independent School Teaching Residency Program
Greenwich Academy is a member of a small consortium of day schools in the University of Pennsylvania’s Independent School Teaching Residency Program. Greenwich Academy teaching fellows who participate in this program pursue a two-year Master of Science in Education (M.S.Ed.) at Penn during their tenure.
This program, which provides an innovative curriculum taught by a combination of Penn’s Graduate School of Education faculty and senior administrators from cohort schools, is designed to attract and train some of the most promising aspiring teachers. The majority of our Penn Fellows’ graduate school tuition is covered by Greenwich Academy. Please visit the Penn site for more information about the graduate education component of this program.
