• Category: Education BRiDGES at GILMAN SCHOOL 5407 Roland Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21210 Program Overview Bridges is a youth-development program that is committed to the long-term success of Baltimore City youth and to providing life-changing opportunities to independent school students. The program currently works with 871 young people – 485 Baltimore City youth ages 9-23 and 386 independent school students – through sites at The St. Paul’s Schools, Gilman School, The Bryn Mawr School, and McDonogh School. Teachers who are hired to teach in the program will be hired, contracted, and paid through one of our four program location partners – The St. Paul’s Schools, Gilman School, The Bryn Mawr School, or the McDonogh School. One of Bridges’ hallmark programs is the Bridges Summer Institute – a five-week, in-person summer program for Baltimore City students in rising grades 4-9. Students begin their 13-year experience with Bridges at the Summer Institute as rising 4th graders and return each summer for six years until they reach high school. The Summer Institute blends academics and enrichment, creating an opportunity for students to learn, grow, have new experiences, and develop their interests and talents. The 2026 Summer Institute will run from June 22 through July 24, 2026. The Opportunity Bridges is searching for 4th through 9th-grade teachers in the subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, Visual and/or Performance Art, and Physical Education to staff the Summer Institute. This is an opportunity for excellent teachers to craft their own curriculum, keep students engaged over the summer through teaching and field trip experiences, and build relationships with a special group of young people. Many Bridges summer teachers have returned year after year, maintaining those relationships as they watch the students grow. The role is seasonal (the majority of work is conducted over five weeks in the summer) and part-time (25 hours per week on average during the summer), making this a great opportunity for teachers seeking summer employment. During the five-week program, teachers work closely with their students, spending four half-days a week teaching in their subject area and one full day a week chaperoning a field trip. Small class sizes range from 8-15 students, with 2-3 high school-aged volunteers present to assist in the classroom. Teachers also join weekly staff meetings and assemblies as requested by the Site Director. Summer teachers will be placed at and employed by one of Bridges’ four program sites – St. Paul’s, Gilman, Bryn Mawr, or McDonogh – and report to the Site Director. Before the summer, teachers will be in communication with the Site Director and may be asked to participate in one 45-minute meeting with the Site Director in April or May 2026, as well as one pre-summer all-staff meeting in June 2026. Teachers will submit course plans and requests for materials by May 1, 2026.
