Students interested in secondary-school teaching should consult the Classics faculty as soon as possible. Some of us know a great deal about teaching Latin (and Greek) in public and private schools, and we can put you in contact with Williams graduates who are secondary school teachers.  You should also become involved in Williams’ Program in Teaching.

Here are some helpful online resources for students seeking positions in Classics. Williams’ Office of Career Counseling can direct you to others.
