We're looking for dynamic, engaged individuals who are interested in exploring a career in education through a one-year fellowship.  Designed for recent college graduates and/or young professionals, the GAC Faculty Fellows program provides one academic year of guidance and opportunities to develop teaching skills and leadership experience in some of our co-curricular activities including athletics and the arts.

GAC is a faith-infused, academically rich community comprised of change-makers, dreamers, aspirers, and hard workers. Together, we are raising a generation of bright, inspired, generous leaders. We share in a community where high academic rigor is matched by active faith and a deep commitment to care for one another. 

GAC Faculty Fellows will engage in regular and ongoing professional development led by the GAC Director of Academics and Teacher Growth and regularly interact with the Director of School Life and other leaders.  Through specialized professional development and intentional mentoring, GAC Faculty Fellows will have the opportunity to build professional portfolios as they prepare for a career in education, non-profit leadership, or other fields. 

In addition to teaching duties in their mentor's classroom, fellows will also be actively involved in our co-curricular programs each season. We are seeking applicants with experience in collegiate athletics, arts, and missions, and that bring expertise, energy, and enthusiasm for growing our programs, investing in the lives of our students, and who desire a growing faith in Christ.
