Welcome to the Billiken Teacher Corps!
The Billiken Teacher Corps at Saint Louis University combines service and teaching to offer a unique opportunity for faith-driven college graduates to have a transformative impact in under-resourced Catholic schools in the St. Louis area and to live the Jesuit mission of being men and women for others.
This academic program attracts graduates who possess the compassion to care for those most in need, a commitment to their communities, and the courage to carry out their convictions. And it's all backed by the rigor of a postgraduate education from Saint Louis University's School of Education.
