Teaching Fellow Program Overview
The Academy seeks individuals with an interest in pursuing a career in teaching or working with youths. Fellows must have a minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree. Prior experience working with youth is a plus, but not required.
The Academy’s Teaching Fellow Program is a rewarding experience that enables individuals to gain valuable and practical experience in teaching, preparing lesson plans, classroom management, and coaching. Perhaps more importantly, Fellows see a different perspective on societal dynamics and how he/she can all play a role in social change.
The Academy’s Teacher Fellow Program is a two-year program. In the first year, Fellows will work with an experienced teacher to gain knowledge on lesson planning, classroom management, and more. As time progresses, Fellows will co-teach with the support and mentorship of experienced teachers. In the second year, Fellows will take on a larger role in the classroom, assisting with planning lessons, providing instruction, etc. while still receiving support and mentoring from an experienced teacher. All Fellows participate in faculty meetings and professional development.
In addition, Teacher Fellows are provided the following:

St. Ignatius Loyola Academy: Educating Boys. Transforming Lives.
St. Ignatius Loyola Academy is an independent, tuition-free, Jesuit middle school for boys from underserved communities. The children we serve lack access to high quality schools and support programs that can change the trajectory of their lives. Through our innovative educational program, the Academy offers a path of hope and resolve to young men in Baltimore. The educational experiences and opportunities the Academy provides are designed specifically to address the needs of urban boys by developing the intellectual, physical, and social qualities of each student leading to their success in high school, college, and adult lives. Our results speak to that future. Over the school’s 30-year history, 98% of graduates have received a high school diploma. Eighty-eight percent of graduates go on to immediately enroll in college or other post-secondary education surpassing the Maryland and national rates. The Academy is a private institution with a very public purpose.
Founded in 1993 and located in Baltimore’s Federal Hill neighborhood, St. Ignatius Loyola Academy is an extended day and eleven-month school year program for 120 fifth through eighth grade students representing 23 zip codes across Baltimore. St. Ignatius Loyola Academy graduates attend exemplary public and private high schools, both day and boarding, in Baltimore and throughout the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Our Graduate Support Program provides counseling and advising support to over 200 graduates who are currently attending outstanding regional and national high schools and colleges. The Academy is an independent Catholic Jesuit school accredited by the Association of Independent Maryland and DC Schools (AIMS) and sponsored by the Maryland Province of Jesuits. Grounded in that educational tradition, the Academy’s faculty and staff educate deserving young men to be intellectually competent, open to growth, loving, religious, and committed to doing justice.
