Join the rapidly expanding classical education movement! Ascent Classical Academies is currently seeking fellows who wish to grow into classical school leaders as headmasters, assistant headmasters, or deans of academics and faculty who share a passion for our mission to grow the classical education movement and to play a key role in significant expansion throughout Colorado, the Western states, and the Carolinas.

Applications are open for one-year paid fellowships in school leadership positions during the 2023-2024 school year, with the potential for a leadership role starting with the 2024-2025 school year. Fellows will receive coaching and development in the areas of school leadership in their interest or strength and will likely teach one to two classes during the first semester, in addition. Successful fellows may go on to serve in existing schools if a position becomes available (currently in south Denver, southeast Ft. Collins, northeast Denver, and Grand Junction, Colorado) or future schools (currently planned for South and North Carolina) beginning with the 2024-2025 school year and beyond.
