Dartmouth Precollege Summer Scholars seeks to hire instructors to develop and teach a course in Entrepreneurship for our non-credit summer enrichment program designed for high school students ages 14-17. Each course can be taught by a single instructor or a team of instructors sharing responsibilities for developing and teaching the course. The program aims to provide high school students with a rigorous and immersive learning experience that mirrors the academic rigor of Dartmouth College. Courses are non-credit and offered to high school students in grades 9-11 in spring 2025 (ages 14-17), who are admitted to the program through a competitive application process. Class size will vary. Instructors are responsible only for the academic portion of the program; the residential components of the program are managed by a third-party partner whose staff designs and manages all out-of-classroom activities.

In addition to salary, for non-Dartmouth affiliates coming from outside the Hanover area, Dartmouth Precollege can provide reimbursement of $100 per day (including two days before the first class day and one day after the last class day), up to a maximum of $1,300 for 8-day course, to partially offset the cost of lodging.
