The training program offers opportunities to explore all aspects of an elementary classroom while teaching under the mentorship of a lead teacher and enjoying the benefits of participation in a vibrant cohort.

In addition to placement in nursery through third-grade classrooms, co-teachers gain broad professional experience working with multiple age groups, as responsibilities include teaching in the after-school enrichment programs or coaching athletic teams.

The classroom experience is supplemented with a professional development program featuring noted guest speakers and a seminar series. Greenwich, CT, is within easy commuting distance to numerous graduate programs and New York City.
