The Haileybury Fellowship  

Haileybury is an independent co-educational boarding school located in Hertfordshire, 20 miles north of London.

The school seeks to develop learners who are academically ambitious, intellectually curious, imaginative and independent. The selected Princeton graduates are expected to bring energy, enthusiasm, and innovation to the teaching and learning at the school. The teaching fellows are selected to challenge learners to progress and to challenge teaching processes to ensure that they remain at the forefront of educational delivery.  Students interested in learning more about the availability of fellowships and internships and the deadlines for application should schedule an appointment with Dr. Todd Kent (twkent@ princeton.edu).
