Those who have a degree in another field and experience working with children will be accepted if they obtain at least an online ESL qualification. About Gibson Youth Academy Well established school system for children from Kindergarten to High School, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Founded by an American educator 8 years ago with the goal of giving Ethiopian children the very best education possible along with character development and an emphasis on creating strong work ethic, responsibility, and academic excellence among our students. Ethiopian children are highly motivated to learn, and it is easy to capture their attention. Ethiopia is an interesting country with its own languages (83 of them), alphabets, way of keeping time, calendar, cultural dress, cultural music and dances, endemic animals, unique cultural foods, and much more. Addis Ababa is a fairly modern city with very good transportation, entertainment, libraries, restaurants, and other activities. The Ethiopian people are gentle, and the country is very safe. If you are a teacher who is dedicated to the edification of children and willing to give 100% effort for the children we serve and be flexible enough to live and work in a new culture and system, please contact us.

We are also glad to provide you with addresses of former ESL teachers who have worked with us so you can get their perspectives about their experiences in the school.
