Exeter Summer Teaching Internship (Residential)
About The Position
The Exeter Summer Teaching Internship offers experience teaching at a residential school. Interns are paired with an experienced faculty mentor who prepares them to co-teach and then teach independently, typically by the second or third week. Interns learn and practice the Harkness teaching method, a student-directed discussion approach, and meet separately with their mentor and the Intern Coordinators. Residential life is an important part of the internship. Interns join a dorm team, live in a single student room in a dormitory on a student-occupied floor, and share bathrooms. They help oversee the residential program, establish an adult presence in residence halls, and contribute to a positive boarding-school experience for students. The position runs from June 28 through August 6, 2027, including a week of training and preparation before students arrive.
