The reason I’m able to teach high-level science is because of the kinds of students we have at Milton Academy. In many ways, they’re fearless… They’re not afraid to share and augment their ideas with their classmates.

Penn Fellow
Since 2012, Milton’s Upper School has worked with the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education Independent School Teaching Residency program to welcome some of the country’s brightest new educators for an immersive training experience as they work toward master’s degrees. The Penn Fellowship program, of which Milton was a founding member, is a two-year residency that gives teaching fellows direct classroom experience along with opportunities to be involved in school life as boarding staff, coaches, and student advisors.
Fellows are mentored by veteran Milton teachers and receive support from their Penn professors and cohorts throughout the program. In turn, Milton students and faculty benefit immensely from the presence and energy of the fellows, who are studying the latest in pedagogy and teaching best practices.
