Andover Teaching Fellowship Program
Phillips Academy, founded in 1778, is an independent, coeducational, diverse, nonsectarian, nonprofit institution offering a variety of academic programs for high school students. Student enrollment is approximately 1,080, with a teaching faculty of more than 200 men and women. Andover is a boarding school, with a majority of the students living on the campus.
At Andover on a teaching fellowship, the recent college graduate is introduced to teaching in a program of guided work in the classroom, professional seminars, and exposure to theories and methods of experienced faculty. The degree of guidance varies considerably depending primarily upon the needs of the teaching fellow. Ordinarily the fellow teaches two sections of a departmental offering. Depending upon the individual department’s needs at the start of the fall term, the fellow either begins teaching or co-teaches. In the winter and spring terms the fellow takes full responsibility for classes. A departmental mentor supports each fellow in the preparation of classes and in evaluating his or her success. Fields open to teaching fellows include art, English, mathematics, classics, French, German, Spanish, Russian, biology, chemistry, physics, music, physical education, history, philosophy and religion. The Community Service program also appoints a teaching fellow. Appointments average 12 per year, though not every department necessarily includes a teaching fellow every year.
In addition to supervised teaching experience, a teaching fellow receives a stipend of $20,000 plus medical insurance, life insurance and a 50 percent contribution to dental insurance. Apartments in a school dormitory or house and meals in the school dining hall also are provided.
