Father Flye Fellow

YOU BELONG HERE.
St. Andrew's-Sewanee School seeks candidates for the Father Flye Fellowship in
Teaching, Outdoor Education, Coaching, and Residential Life. This one-year fellowship
offers aspiring independent school educators experience in the classroom, outdoor
education, coaching, and student support.

The fellowship is named in honor of the Rev. James H. Flye, an Episcopal priest and
teacher, who dedicated much of his life to the education of students at one of SAS's
predecessor institutions, St. Andrew's School. Father Flye's devotion to young people
and enduring mentorships with his students were immortalized in the publication
of Letters of James Agee to Father Flye, which chronicled his ongoing
correspondence with his former student and Pulitzer-Prize winning author, James
Agee.

For the fellowship, SAS seeks aspiring independent school educators who will work
tirelessly to foster those relationships that create an intentional community that
studies, works, explores, plays, and worships together. The program has an excellent
placement record.
