Teaching in Costa Rica

      In this unique teaching experience, you’ll be working in a community-focused private school in a beautiful beachside town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. This locally founded K-6 school has been in operation for more than a decade, and is designed to give an outstanding bilingual educational opportunity to the region’s children so that they can share their learning with the community and live meaningful lives. You’ll bring your skill and knowledge in teaching to the classroom in your area of expertise: designing and delivering lessons, and working with the children in a variety of activities as a teacher.

      An ideal participant is adventurous, independent, and keen to put their teaching skills to use with children in a cross-cultural environment. Accommodations can be locally arranged as an add-on, and teachers will follow a basic teaching schedule throughout the school year.
