About the Hartwell Visiting Fellows

Founded in 2018, the endowed teaching fellowship aligns with the value GFA places on the life of the mind as well as the application of knowledge that fuels science, arts, government, business, social enterprise, environmental responsibility and more. The program  allows us to bring distinguished speakers, innovative thinkings, and dynamic teachers to campus for extended periods of time to work with our PreK-12 students and enhance our already robust curriculum; deepens our Inquiry projects, providing a distinctive and distinguishing aspect of our current offerings; and elevates the profile of the school and enhances the student experience.
