Teach

You'll teach, sure. But,
also you will tie a lot of shoes.

Like, really though—a lot of shoes will be tied. You’ll teach
in the formal sense of the word, but even more by your
example. Parents often tell us their children feel the love
of Fellows
because as a missionary, you are more present
than most teachers can be. In one year, you’ll gain a skill set
in teaching and presence that will serve you for the rest of
your life—even if your next role is outside of education.

Professional
Development

Most Fellows arrive with no formal teaching
experience. That’s the point. As long as you’re
open to grow, you’ll thrive. With daily coaching,
professional seminars, and real classroom
practice, you’ll grow more in one year than many
do in five. No matter where you go afterward,
you’ll leave as a more confident, capable, and
resilient professional.

Our Schools

Our Fellows are placed exclusively at our Seton Education Partners schools:

Our Charter Schools:

  • Brillante Academy (Mission, TX)
  • Brilla Schools (The Bronx, NY)

Our Catholic Schools:

  • Romero Academies (Cincinnati, OH)

At our charter schools, we offer an optional faith-based after-school program where Fellows teach Catechism. At our Catholic schools, Fellows teach the same catechetical content during the school day. We provide the curriculum so you can focus your time on preparing to teach it.

Educate

the truth and think
