SCHOOL & POSITION SUMMARY
The mission of Brooks School is to provide the most meaningful educational experience our students will have in their lives. Established in 1926 in the town of North Andover, Brooks provides an all-gender, college preparatory program for 350 students on a 270-acre campus overlooking Lake Cochichewick. We strive to be a place where a diverse group of faculty and staff want to learn, grow, and do their best work to support all aspects of a Brooks student’s life, both in and out of the classroom. At Brooks, we recruit, employ, train, compensate and promote regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status and other protected statuses. Our school thrives because of our faculty and staff’s hard work, initiative, dedication and compassion.
Brooks seeks a Davis Fellow for the 2026-2027 school year. This full-time faculty position will include teaching one to two sections in an academic area of interest and expertise for the Fellow, contributing to the campus community by coaching two seasons or the equivalent, supporting the residential life program, and working in another area of school life as applicable. We are especially interested in candidates who are skilled in culturally responsive educational practices and who are committed to fostering a sense of inclusion and belonging.
DAVIS FELLOWS PROGRAM
Established in 2020, the Davis Fellows Program joins the Davis Scholars Program that currently serves our student population. Named for Brooks School alumnus Andrew Davis ‘81, the two programs honor his family’s commitment to supporting the futures of young people from historically excluded populations in independent schools. The Fellows and Scholars programs are connected in name, mission and community, with the Fellow(s) encouraged to partake in the Scholars cohort. These valued Brooksians add their unique perspectives and experiences and contribute immeasurably to the fabric of our community.
Brooks School’s commitment to meaningful education extends beyond the student experience to include support and growth for young educators; those who are new to our school community, and also new to teaching, coaching, and residential life.
Brooks believes that meaningful education happens in the classroom, on the stages, studios and playing fields, and in our shared spaces outside the school day. Inspired by this philosophical conviction, we have designed the Davis Fellowship to provide mentorship in more than one area of school life. While dedication to our mission unites us, it is our diversity that strengthens the Brooks School community.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
A few Davis Fellow positions may be posted in any given year, with the expectation that one new appointment will be made. A Brooks School Davis Fellow will:
- teach one to two classes (observe one, teach one).
- partake in two seasons of afternoon activities
- be affiliated with a dormitory and weekend duty team.
- engage in Admission, Athletics, Student Affairs, Alumni/Development work, as interested
- meet regularly with the Dean of Teaching and Learning
- meet regularly with the Davis Fellow Academic Mentor

The duration of the fellowship is one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second. Should a Davis Fellow wish to pursue an advanced degree in education, Brooks School will endeavor to partner with the institution of higher learning to support the Fellow toward that end. It is possible that a Davis Fellow be hired full time by Brooks School upon completion of the Davis Fellows Program.
