When

TEFL staff begin working at the start of January, including orientation, preparation and planning before the school year begins. If needed, teachers may arrive in November the year before to complete TEFL certification at a local, well-respected teacher-training school. (These TEFL courses are held in English.) Teachers depart at the end of the school year in early November. All TEFL positions are full-time. Staff report to work at 7:00 AM and finish at 2:30 PM. School runs Monday through Friday. Our TEFL personnel are active participants in the school day, including morning devotionals, supervision duties and extra-curricular all-staff activities.

What We Will Do

The TEFL program is a unique way to experience the richness of Guatemala while tangibly contributing to its development. With skills like English, our students have access to new opportunities and places where they can be agents of change. Our TEFL staff provides quality English education, and our bilingual high school programs help students attain a language proficiency that sets them up for success.
