Teach at Buenos Aires International Christian Academy in Buenos Aires, Argentina

  Argentina

• Buenos Aires: 
Buenos Aires

Description: The Buenos Aires International Christian Academy (BAICA) is now a part of the Network of International Christian Schools. NICS was involved with the founding of BAICA in 1998, and a decision was finalized in December 2007 by the BAICA board to re-join the network. BAICA recently moved into a new facility in Buenos Aires and is experiencing strong growth.

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).
