Although we may not have a position currently available in your field, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply. We’re always looking for great educators.

So if you’re a progressive educator who cares about your craft and wants to convey that passion to others (especially the students), then we’re looking for you. If you’re a teacher who:

  • has a certified teaching degree
  • believes that education is not a spectator sport, but an experience that should be relevant, meaningful, and memorable
  • is comfortable with a high level of autonomy in the classroom and with the curriculum
  • reads sources, inside and outside of your area of expertise, in order to expand your knowledge as much as possible
  • has an open mind, and is willing to adapt to a potentially different work environment (and way of doing things)

  • is interested in the psychology of learning, child psychology, second language acquisition, philosophy, and/or other related domains

  • can not only motivate students to learn, but teach them how to learn
  • understands that the daily operation of a school is hard work, and is willing to put in the extra time and effort to help out beyond simply planning and teaching lessons
  • can provide a criminal record check from every country in which you have worked for more than 6 months
