Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States (founded 1636) and one of the eight Ivy League schools, widely regarded for their high academic standards, selectivity in admissions, and social prestige.
The British Teaching Fellowships aim to promote mutual understanding between England and America by integrating an American student into the community of one of England's prestigious "Public Schools". These fellowships provide a unique opportunity for experiential cultural and intellectual exchange in a secondary school setting. The program focuses on enabling the fellow to engage in part-time teaching, sports coaching, supervisory duties, and ambassadorial roles such as discussing American current affairs and college life, thereby fostering a deeper intercultural dialogue and appreciation. Accommodation, board, and reasonable holiday breaks are provided to ensure a fully immersive experience.
