The GCDS Co-Teacher Training Program offers opportunities to explore all aspects of an elementary classroom, while teaching under the mentorship of a lead teacher and enjoying the benefits of participation in a vibrant cohort.

- Housing on campus or nearby
- Annual stipend of $30,000 in the first year of the program, $32,000 in the second year
- Medical and dental benefits (see full list of benefits)
