About The Position

The Hun School of Princeton seeks dynamic and creative Upper and Middle School Teaching Fellows for the 2026-2027 academic year. TEACHING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM Each year, Hun hires aspiring teachers to take part in the Teaching Fellow Program. The program is designed for new educators to gain valuable teaching and boarding school experience in order to further pursue a career in education. Teaching Fellows will live on-campus as they hone their skills through observation, discussion, and teaching. Throughout the year, they gain experience in four areas foundational to independent schools – classroom pedagogy and practice, resident life responsibilities, coaching, and advising. Fellows will work with a mentor while performing duties essential to the classroom and to resident life. They will grow through classroom observations and co-teaching in the first trimester, and then assume all classroom responsibilities as we move into the second trimester. In addition, Teaching Fellows coach two seasons in athletics or lead the equivalent in the arts or co-curricular activities. As part of their resident responsibilities, each Teaching Fellow will perform dorm duties one night a week and one weekend a month as well as assist in the Resident Life Office through implementing student programming which fosters community and bridges cultural differences among our diverse population of students.
