The Teaching Fellows Program offers a two-year teaching opportunity for applicants to hone their discipline by teaching in an urban school setting. Based in Holy Family Institute’s mission of Catholic social justice, the program builds innovative servant teachers and provides opportunities for personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
Participants teach in Holy Family Specialized Learning, a private K-12 school serving children with behavioral or academic issues, or Nazareth Prep, an innovative Catholic high school that equips students for success in a variety of vocations.
Participants work on earning a tuition-free master's degree in secondary or special education from Duquesne University School of Education or a master's degree in theology from Duquesne University's School of Liberal Arts.
Prospective Teaching Fellows must have an undergraduate degree in English, math, science or instructional technology. Special Education Fellows must have a special education teacher's certification.
Teaching Fellows serving at Nazareth Prep are expected to demonstrate a commitment to their faith tradition and to the spiritual formation of their students while exploring the spirituality and charism of the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
