How will I become certified in the United States?

There are many opportunities for qualified international teachers to participate in a cultural exchange teaching program in the United States. In addition to visa requirements, foreign educators who work in public schools must also be certified in the state where they choose to work. In most instances, you will be required to pass one or more state-mandated tests. Prospective educators will also be asked to demonstrate their reading, writing, and speaking proficiency in the English language during their interviews. Through our specialists, we will guide you through necessary certification-related documents before you depart your home country for the United States.

How much money should I expect to make as a teacher in the US?

Teachers are paid on the same salary scale as an US teacher. This is dependent upon years of experience, degree level, and location of placement.

Teachers can expect to be paid a competitive salary commensurate with a US teacher.

What will be my return for this opportunity?

You will become a respected member of a professional team of educators in the highly sought after bilingual teaching profession. You will gain experience teaching with international colleagues, and receive significant professional development from top US education professionals that will elevate your career to new heights. Living and working in the USA will also afford you the opportunity to improve your English speaking and writing skills as well as appreciate US American culture that varies from state to state.

Our Teachers have the opportunity to be a cultural ambassador of their own country. Our teachers bring cultures from all over the world to American classrooms and then back home to their country.

Will I be under contract to a public or private school?

Public schools are funded by the US government and local taxes. Private or Independent schools are funded by school parents and other sources that are nongovernmental. We work with both types of schools, as well as charter schools.

Will my school-aged children be able to attend public schools in the US?

Yes! This applies to children in public schools from PreK through grades 12. There may be extra expenses associated with this.

What can I expect to receive in benefits from the school to which I have been contracted?

This may vary by school district or private or independent school. Our teachers receive health insurance through the program, and our teachers are not eligible for retirement savings programs. The benefits they receive would include their salary and the paid sick days according to their school policy. All of our teachers are paid on the same salary scale as US teachers. This is dependent upon years of experience, degree level, and location of placement. Teaching is a respected profession in the US and educators are treated accordingly. Often schools encourage educators to take workshops, classes, or attend conferences to enhance their credentials as educators.
