Intern/Americorps Teacher Program
Are you interested in teaching? How about in an environment with small class sizes and dedicated and supportive faculty? Are you looking for an opportunity to coach and be an advisor to a small group of students?
The Saint Ignatius Loyola Academy intern teacher program is a two year program where you will work with highly motivated inner-city boys who attend the Academy on full scholarships and who are aspiring to attend competitive college preparatory high school and college.
You will work and live as part of a team of young and energetic full-time teachers who reside across the street from the academy and who enjoy their work. Receive excellent mentoring and support in a job that makes a difference!
As an intern teacher, your service year will begin with your gaining valuable first-year teaching experience serving as a summer school teacher in our four-week July program for entering 6th graders. During the regular school, you will teach a half load of classes (about 2 to 3 sections per day), serve as an advisor and coach, and assist with administrative tasks. The academic year concludes with your service as a camp counselor in the academy's two-week overnight camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains (June).
In addition, our intern program includes the following benefits:
- Free housing in your own apartment right across the street from school
- Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance
- Meals and living allowances
- Nearby Health club membership
- Deferment of student loans, plus Americorps Education Award of $5,550 (eligible after a year of service at SILA)
- Support to earn a graduate degree in education from Loyola University Maryland while you work at the Academy (conditional on being accepted and the University's continuing partnership)
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Interns are usually selected in March of each year.
We are anticipating at least two intern positions available for the 2012-2013 school year. Please submit a résumé
