Faculty Fellows
Launch your career in education at Greater Atlanta Christian School.
The GAC Faculty Fellows program is a one-year, paid fellowship designed for recent college graduates and young professionals who are exploring a calling in education.
Fellows receive hands-on classroom experience, intentional mentoring, and ongoing professional development while serving alongside exceptional Christian educators.
In addition to working with a mentor teacher, Fellows invest in student life through athletics, fine arts, or other co-curricular programs. Throughout the year, they build valuable teaching, leadership, and ministry experience while developing a professional portfolio for future careers in education, nonprofit leadership, and beyond.
If you are passionate about Christ, love investing in students, and are eager to grow as a leader, we'd love to hear from you.
