The Loomis Chaffee School announces a search for a Teaching Fellow to teach Biology and Chemistry to begin teaching in mid-August of 2026.

The University of Pennsylvania’s Boarding School Teaching Residency (BSTR) program is a groundbreaking collaboration between the Penn Graduate School of Education and a consortium of the nation’s leading boarding schools. With an innovative and comprehensive curriculum designed specifically for the boarding schools’ unique setting, the program provides aspiring teachers an opportunity to receive a master’s degree in education in concert with the exceptional fellowship programs offered by each school.  

BSTR Fellows teach, coach, and advise students over a two-year period at their host school, and participate in one weekend session at alternating campuses of partner schools as well as two weekends and a weeklong summer session at the University of Pennsylvania. Fellows also have the opportunity to complete additional study through a combination of online classes and virtual discussions. More information on the program can be found here. 

Loomis Chaffee will be hiring one BSTR fellow to teach Biology and Chemistry. We are accepting applications for this position. We will announce a second fellow position in April. 

Interested candidates must submit a personal statement and resume, two letters of recommendation, and an official transcript from their undergraduate college or university to the school. Accepted candidates will also be required to complete an online application to the UPenn Graduate School of Education in Spring 2026.
