Vina del Mar

Length of Position: Paid post: February 2007-December 2007 Volunteer position: February 2007-July2007

Description: Unique opportunity to be part of an international group of professionals coming together to provide an English immersion pre-school environment for children ages 2-6. We are looking for teachers who share our interest in promoting cultural exchange while providing a Montessori curriculum.

We are currently accepting applications for one vacancy for Morning or Afternoon Pre-School Teacher: February 2007- December 2007 and two vacancy for Part-Time Volunteer Teachers: February 2007-July 2007

Highlights: One of the highlights of One World is the work atmosphere present at this school. Besides the autonomy with which our teachers develop the curriculum, the support staff of Volunteers who teach extracurricular activities (ceramics, drawing, music, piano, tennis, ballet and gymnastics) provide for an atmosphere of collaboration and mutual support.

We are currently interviewing for one Paid/Part-time position, and two Volunteer teaching positions, both of which allow ample time to be immersed in the Chilean culture. The geographical placement of the school is ideal for teachers who wish to travel over long weekends, and school breaks.

Volunteer teachers dedicate half of their week to the school assisting the head teacher and leading extracurricular activities. Volunteers receive comfortable accomodations and partial board. Paid teachers dedicate mornings or afternoons to their students at the school and are renumerated decently by local standards. Money however should not be a motivating factor for potential applicants. The riches teachers take home live in their hearts much longer than in their pocketbooks!

Both volunteers and paid teachers receive Spanish classes three times a week with a native Spanish speaker.

Qualifications: Successful applicant to a Paid position should posess early education certificate, and preferably knowledge of Montessori system. Volunteer candidates should demonstrate completion of their university degree.

Minimum Education: Bachelor of Arts

Experience Required: yes
