Seeking Science Teacher, Grades 8-12

6 years ago

Panajachel Colegio Internacional (PCI) is seeking a dedicated Science educator who is passionate about student learning, cultural diversity, and community involvement. We are a small (60 students) non-profit school located in Panajachel on beautiful Lake Atitlan. Class sizes are far below most schools (about 12 students per class), and teachers are encouraged to employ a variety of instructional and assessment strategies. PCI alumni attend universities in Guatemala, the U.S., Canada, Europe, Latin America and other countries. All core classes are taught in English, so core teachers need to be proficient in written and spoken English. English mastery is an important aspect of learning in each core subject area.

PCI provides a welcome escape from the myriad of demands and stresses currently being experienced by many teachers in the U.S. and abroad. At PCI you will find students grateful for their learning opportunities. You will not need to deal with indifferent and arrogant overindulged students and their helicopter parents. There are no significant discipline issues here at PCI.

We have extensive chemistry, physics and biology lab equipment, extensive micro-controller and electronics supplies and tools, ceiling-mounted digital projectora, computer lab, and small classes of motivated students. You will work with a Guatemalan co-teacher. We have an excellent teaching team and an experienced director. We provide extensive professional development.

Our primary focus is empowering the indigenous population through a high-quality university-preparatory education. Fifty percent of our students pay reduced tuition. This has an impact on our operational budget, and thus salaries and benefits. However, you may rest assured that you will be able to cover your living expenses in Panajachel with the salary we provide. A number of teachers are able to save money as well. Please apply if this sounds appealing to you. If you are ready for a truly exciting, unique experience helping to build Guatemala’s future, please send your resume and cover letter to [email protected].
