Admissions & Teaching Intern

A leader in progressive education for more than 100 years, the Bank Street School for Children provides students, from nursery through 8th grade, an education that engages their natural curiosity, nurtures critical thinking, and helps to develop a sense of community and social responsibility. Through a teaching approach that is fundamentally hands-on and child-centered, Bank Street students develop the courage and confidence to think independently, work collaboratively, understand themselves and others more deeply, and possess the compassion to make meaning of the world around them. Bank Street School for Children is a children’s program of Bank Street College of Education, which has led the charge to place students’ needs at the center of practice and policy in the field of education.

We are looking for an intern who is interested in learning more about progressive education and building a school community through work in classrooms and in admissions. The candidate would work closely and collaboratively with faculty and the admissions team to support children in early childhood classrooms, assess prospective students and help with events for families interested in the school, assist with chaperoning field trips across New York City, and support research and documentation for special projects. We are interested in a candidate who has experience working with children, has an interest in child development, works well in a team, brings creativity into the classroom, values working in a diverse school environment, and is excited to learn more about different aspects of school life.
