teacherage

{{Short description|Teacher's Residence}}

A teacherage is a house for one or more schoolteachers, like a parsonage is a house for a parson or minister of a Protestant church. Teacherages are used to provide accommodation for teachers in remote native communities in Canada{{cite web|url=https://www.sac-isc.gc.ca/eng/1100100010644/1533651868855|access-date=2024-08-29|publisher=Indigenous Services Canada|title=Level of Service Standards and Management of Teacherages on Reserve}}{{cite web|url=https://sd84.bc.ca/staff-resources/teacherages/|access-date=2024-08-29|title=Teacherages|publisher=British Columbia School District 84}} since teachers are often not long-term residents of the community and therefore do not have their own housing.
