Candidates in the process of obtaining teaching certification or with relevant private school experience are also welcome to submit their applications. While church attendance is preferred to align with our values, it is not mandatory.
Joining our team comes with a host of benefits, including ample preparation time, professional development opportunities, and a supportive English-speaking environment.
