The Saint Ignatius Loyola Academy volunteer teacher program is a two-year program working with highly motivated inner-city boys who attend the Academy on full scholarships and are aspiring to attend competitive, college-preparatory high schools and colleges.

The Intern Teacher Experience

Intern teachers work and live as part of a team of young and energetic full-time teachers who reside near the Academy and who enjoy their work. You can expect to receive excellent mentoring and support in a job that makes a difference!

As an intern teacher, your two-year service begins with you gaining valuable first-year teaching experience serving as a summer school teacher in our four-week July education program. During the regular school year (late August-May), you will teach a variety of classes, as well as serve as an advisor and coach. The academic year concludes with your service as a camp counselor in the Academy's two-week overnight camp at the Claggett Center (June). Your second year follows a similar schedule with increased teaching responsibilities.

Benefits

In addition to gaining invaluable teaching experience, our intern teacher program includes the following benefits:

  • Health insurance (fully paid, including deductibles)

  • Living stipend

  • Housing provided in newly renovated row house in Baltimore's historic Federal Hill neighborhood and just a few blocks from the Academy

  • Nearby health club membership

  • Deferment of student loans, plus Americorps Education Award of $5,550 (eligible after a year of service at the Academy)

  • Support to earn a graduate degree in education from Loyola University Maryland while you work at the Academy (conditional on being accepted and the University's continuing partnership)
