One of the nation’s premier boarding schools, Phillips Academy offers a number of summer programs for rising 7 th through 12 th grade students that are held on its picturesque campus just 21 miles north of Boston. Every summer Phillips Academy hires a number of visiting teachers to teach, coach, and house counsel in its summer programs, which are slated to run this summer from June 23-August 2, 2026.

Collectively the programs are referred to as “Andover Summer.” Across all these programs, Andover Summer students bring strong academic records and a serious desire to spend the summer in disciplined study, and they enjoy challenging themselves and one another as part of a gl obal community of scholars.

• Our flagship program, Summer Session , challenges students in an innovative five-week, residential program comprised of both the Upper School and Lower School Institute. More than 75 courses are offered, ranging from computer science to marine biology, from ethics and philosophy to economics. Summer Session students bring the world into the classroom by virtue of their enormous diversity of geographic origin, religion, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background.
• Mathematics & Science for Minority Students – better known as (MS)2 – is a residential, STEM scholarship program that challenges students intellectually with rigorous curriculum (math, science, English, and college counseling). Scholars develop leadership and individual living skills through exposure to peers and educators with diverse backgrounds, life experiences, and aspirations.
• PALS is a partnership between Phillips Academy and Lawrence Schools, PALS brings motivated Lawrence middle school students to campus for 5 weeks for a tuition free academic enrichment program, offering rigorous courses in Humanities and STEM and high school access and preparation support.
  
  

Andover Summer teachers are charged with ensuring that students in their classes have a challenging and academically rigorous summer experience, while also making learning incredibly fun. An Andover Summer faculty member’s experience is rigorous, intensive, and challenging, structured to provide support to students academically, socially, and emotionally throughout their 5-week experience. We see teaching in the summer as an opportunity for teachers to innovate and experiment; there is no strict curriculum to which teachers must adhere (outside of following the general guidance provided by the course description). Project-based, hands-on, authentic learning experiences are encouraged, and teachers should be prepared to lead students through an intensive and highly engaging exploration of their chosen content.

Typically, teachers in our residential programs are hired to teach two courses, to house counsel and to coach an afternoon activity. Each on-campus course meets for roughly 1½ hours each day, 5-6 days a week. Teachers are also expected to contribute to the life of the residential community by chaperoning, attending all-school meetings and events, and generally being an active part of our vibrant campus life.

Compensation

On-campus residential teachers with a full workload of teaching and house counseling responsibilities earn a starting salary of $6,800-$9700. Salary based on program, numbers of courses taught and experience. Additional stipend opportunities may be available ranging from $250 to $700 for supplemental roles such as coaching, leading dorms and advising. See each individual job description on our employment site for further information.
