Carter Fellowship Program
Since 1991, Greenhill’s Carter Teaching Fellowship program has introduced over 240 young teachers to the world of independent school education through a variety of opportunities in the Lower School, the athletics and fine arts departments, and the extended day program. In 2006, the fellowship program was named for Lucinda F. Carter, a master teacher of teachers during her 35 years at Greenhill.
In every way, teaching fellows are considered an integral part of the faculty of Greenhill School and are expected to participate fully in the life of the school. Carter Teaching Fellows are appointed to a one-year position. The fellowship salary for 2020-21 is $36,000 with payments every two weeks from August 2020 – July 2021.
