Penn Independent School Teaching Residency Fellowship 2026‑2027

Mission Gilman is a diverse community dedicated to educating boys in mind, body, and spirit through particular emphasis upon academic excellence, athletic participation, and aesthetic appreciation. Gilman seeks to produce men of character and integrity who have the skills and ability to make a positive contribution to the communities in which they live and work.

Commitment to the Whole Boy For more than a century, Gilman’s mission has remained exceedingly focused: to unlock the greatness within each boy by educating the entire boy—mind, body, and spirit. To accomplish that goal, we provide space and opportunity for crucial learning and self‑expression to take place. We believe that boys experience transformative learning when they connect disciplines, people, and ideas in ways that deepen their sense of self and serve the needs of others.

Our rich and comprehensive program, the talented faculty and students, and the character traits embodied by the Gilman Five—Honor, Integrity, Respect, Humility, and Excellence—combine to form the foundation of an educational environment dedicated to helping boys grow into men of character.

Community, Inclusion, and Equity

Gilman’s commitment to inclusion and equity is founded on the belief that our community is strengthened by the vibrant exchange that occurs when individuals with different backgrounds and heritages share their perspectives with one another. Through the recognition and acceptance of our many differences, we learn to appreciate and respect the complexity of the world in which we live and develop essential skills that help us forge productive relationships with those around us.

More than 40% of Gilman’s student body and 20% of the school’s faculty identify as people of color. We continue to build on that legacy through our steadfast commitment to inclusivity and equity and initiatives on local, state, and national levels.

School Gilman School is a pre‑kindergarten through twelfth‑grade private independent day school for boys, located on a 57‑acre campus in northern Baltimore City. It serves roughly 1,000 students in three divisions, has a full‑time faculty of nearly 140, and an average class size of 16.

Fellowship Gilman is a partner in the Penn Fellows Independent School Teaching Residency (ISTR), an innovative collaboration between the Graduate School of Education of the University of Pennsylvania and a consortium of the nation’s leading independent day schools.

The fellowship enables aspiring and early‑career teachers over two years to receive a master’s degree in education while completing a teaching fellowship at Gilman. The program confers a Master of Science in Education (M.S. Ed.) and requires the completion of 10 course units over two years. Fellows also complete an inquiry project and construct a final portfolio in their second year.

Applicants must first apply directly to Gilman. Once Gilman finalizes its selections, the prospective fellow will then—only then—apply to Penn GSE. Applications submitted to Penn GSE without a recommendation from Gilman will not be considered.
