SERVE.Be the difference.
Teach full time and make an impact in the lives of students while gaining leadership skills as coaches, club moderators, or campus ministers in Catholic schools. "BTC has shaped the way I view my calling as a teacher - not only am I here as a teacher to empower my students to learn and to help them grow, but I am here to learn from Jesus the Teacher, who guides me as I respond to this vocation." - Steph, Cohort 5 |
LEARN.Be supported as a new teacher.
Earn a Master of Arts in Teaching and receive mentoring from experts with a passion for education. “Teaching means more to me than just helping my students understand content. Teaching is about making an impact. It’s opening my heart up to allow my students to make an impact on me. It is doing my very best to love like Jesus and for my students to see and know that. When they know that they are loved, that’s when they can learn and understand the content.” - Mallory, Cohort 5 |
GROW.Be your authentic self.
Take classes with your peers who are also committed to their faith and grow as a person. “These two years have been the most formative time of my life thanks to my community and students. They have taught me more than I ever could have imagined, specifically how to continually build community through love and prayer.” - Shannon, Cohort 4 |
