Wanted: Teacher extraordinaire!

It's finally school break! And with that ... I can *hopefully* get something done about this great big, looming problem ... err ... opportunity ... we have ahead ... our school is looking for teachers!

Want to come live in Angola for a time and gain some valuable teaching experience?

We have openings for teachers ... both short and long-term!

Basic qualifications for a short-term teacher:

• Has a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ
• Qualified from an accredited institution for education (can be recent graduate) OR Early Childhood Education certification/college diploma for working with children and youth 
• Must be flexible and willing to learn and adapt to a new culture, a new type of school and curriculum, and a new language (no language training is necessary, English is spoken at the school, but Portuguese is spoken in the country) 
• Able to fundraise or support themselves for the time here (the school is able to provide a small salary to offset costs). Interested applicants would work through our partner agencies of SIM or MAF Canada for support through the fundraising and visa application process.

Why would you want to work here?

• Small school of approx. 25 students, Angolan and ex-pat, and the only English language school in our city!
• An awesome opportunity to live in another country, learn another culture, and even another language!
• A great resume builder--teach anything (or everything) from kindergarten to high school, across all subjects and disciplines
• Flexibility--since our school and staff are small, you can design your program--do you want to teach all day, every day? Have a day off to volunteer elsewhere? Design a special education program? Start a club? Try something new outside of school? You have the flexibility!
• Christ-centered--you have the opportunity not only to share the gospel with students, but help students who have few to no other Christian role models in their life!

Current Needs

• Short-term teacher volunteer from October 2017-January 2018 (to help cover for me, Kelly, while I'm in Canada on maternity leave!)
• Kindergarten teacher for the Sept 2018-July 2019 school year
• Long-term teachers of all grades to help us build and expand our school!

If you are interested, please email Kelly at kboers@maf.org for more information, or just to see if it's the right fit!
