Description:
Location:
ICSL is located at The Union Church of Lima, in Miraflores, near the corner of Angamos Oeste and Santa Cruz.

ICS Mission Statement:
The mission of International Christian School of Lima is to provide a quality education in the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical dimensions of life; to instill in each student a Biblical worldview, a respect for people of all cultures and religions, and a desire for academic excellence.

The Community:
Located in beautiful Miraflores, the International Christian School of Lima is meeting the needs of Limas international residents. The school offers a full English education program for elementary, junior high school and high school families who work in Lima as businessmen, military personnel, missionaries, diplomats, and embassy staff from many different countries.

The School:
The school is an independent, tuition-based, co-educational day school that offers an international curriculum for expatriates residing in and around Lima from preschool through grade twelve.

Accreditation:
ICSL is dually-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, (SACS) and the Association Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Teach at International Christian School in Lima, Peru

Highlights: All NICS schools are accredited by accrediting associations in the States. Therefore, our schools use American curriculum and follow the American calendar. We use a variety of American-based curricula. Each of the NICS schools has an administrator and curriculum committee that determines the best curriculum and resources for their school. Just like schools in the United States, the amount of resources depends on the size of the school.

We prefer teachers who have classroom experience, at the minimum: student teaching. While most mission organizations require a teacher to have at least two years experience, NICS is willing to invest the time and effort to help you get that experience. In return, we get energetic teachers with a teachable spirit and a willingness to learn. Final decisions regarding staff placement are made by the school's administrator.

Salary depends on the school and the location. NICS has three basic types of schools, Pioneer (Start up), Transitional (Becoming an International school) and International (Established). While each school has different positive aspects that make it unique, the Pioneer and Transitional may require the raising of some support and the International schools will provide a salary. The salary is one that will allow you to live comfortably in that country. By comfortable we mean able to cover all living expenses (Apartment, utilities, clothing, food and able to go out to eat a couple of times each week and still be able to save enough money to come home for Christmas or travel during the summer break).

Qualifications: * ESL Teacher

With a student to teacher ratio of 8 to 1 every child receives individual attention. As a small private school ICSL is very flexible and creative when it comes to helping the children succeed. Students with special needs or learning difficulties are accepted if they can function in the classroom. ICS Lima has teachers on staff who are certified in special education to help students who need to be pulled out of the classroom for special tutoring throughout the day. ICSL tries to develop a special program for these students and partners with the parents to insure their child's success. In addition to helping children with special needs ICSL offers classes for gifted students. Advanced Placement (AP) classes such as AP Calculus and honors classes are offered and developed yearly as needed for our students. ICSL has an automated 10,000 volume library with computer workstations for Internet research. The ICSL computer lab has 14 workstations all equipment with Internet access. Students have a computer class from one to five times per week depending on their grade level. Each child has one period of Spanish per day. A new science lab with modern equipment helps the students excel in science and discover new concepts daily.
