Living Arrangements
Participants live together in intentional Christian community in a program chosen building, usually a repurposed convent, rectory or other church property. Communities generally consist of 3-8 members. Community living allows our teachers the opportunity to challenge and encourage each other as they develop personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Training
Two years of graduate coursework toward a M.Ed. in secondary education or a M.S. in teacher leadership. At local school placements, Magis teachers receive the support of a mentor teacher and work closely with the school administrator and the Magis Director for support and guidence throughout the length of the program. Magis teachers attend a summer spirituality course and participate in retreats throughout the year.
