Milton Academy is an independent college preparatory K–12 school, boarding and day in grades 9–12, located just outside of Boston.

Milton Academy cultivates in its students a passion for learning and a respect for others. Embracing diversity and the pursuit of excellence, we create a community in which individuals develop competence, confidence and character. Our active learning environment, in and out of the classroom, develops creative and critical thinkers, unafraid to express their ideas, prepared to seek meaningful lifetime success and to live by our motto, “Dare to be true.”

Milton Academy seeks Teaching Fellows with a concentration in Math starting the summer of 2026 to participate in the Independent School Teaching Residency master's program in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. This program enables aspiring and early-career teachers to complete a rewarding and hands‑on two‑year teaching fellowship at Milton Academy while receiving a master’s degree in education.

To support our boarding student population, campus housing will be provided for fellows.

The Penn Fellows will teach a reduced load (two sections of Math in year one, three sections of Math in year two) while they complete their graduate coursework, and will engage with Milton’s residential life community and co‑curricular and/or athletics programs. They will be mentored by an experienced member of the faculty in the Math department and will have a cohort of Penn Fellows in their first and second years with whom they will share and strategize about their successes and challenges.

With an innovative and comprehensive curriculum designed specifically for independent schools’ unique settings, the program features intensive on‑site sessions in combination with collaborative online learning.

Interested candidates must apply online. Accepted candidates will be required to complete an online application to the UPenn Graduate School of Education no later than May 1.
