The University of Pennsylvania’s Boarding School Teaching Residency (BSTR) is a groundbreaking collaboration between the Penn Graduate School of Education and a consortium of the nation’s leading boarding schools. With an innovative and comprehensive curriculum designed specifically for the boarding schools’ unique setting, the program provides aspiring teachers an opportunity to receive a master’s degree in education in concert with the exceptional fellowship programs offered by each school.
BSTR Fellows teach, coach and advise students over a two-year period at their host school, and participate in three weekend sessions at alternating campuses of partner schools and a weeklong summer session at the University of Pennsylvania. Fellows also have the opportunity to pursue additional study through a combination of online classes and virtual discussions.
