Post-Graduate Teaching Opportunities

All graduates of 17³Ô¹ÏÍø, whether or not they participate in the Teacher Education Program, are invited to consider several post-graduate teaching opportunities, some of which offer educational credits toward an advanced degree in teaching.

NativityMiguel Schools 

The Nativity model of education began with the creation of the Nativity Mission Center in New York City in 1971. The model consists of small class sizes, a mandatory summer program, an extended school day where students attend organized activities and an evening study, and a graduate support program. Today, there are 64 NativityMiguel Schools serving over 5,000 middle-school-aged boys and girls in 27 states. The mission of the schools is to provide a unique faith-based education that breaks the cycle of poverty in underserved communities. Some examples include:

• (The teaching program at Nativity Prep New Bedford includes enrollment in AmeriCorps, and full charge of your classroom with regular coaching and observation from seasoned educators.)
