Centro de Estudios Interamericanos School, part of the CEDEI non-profit foundation, has openings for TEFL certified teachers who are available to start in August 2014. We are a non-traditional, dual language, content-based preschool to early high school.
Our school is guided by the following philosophical tenets:
• Multiple Intelligences
• English as an instrumental language
• French as a third language
• Inclusion of children with special needs
• Multiculturalism
• Emotional stability as a prerequisite to learning
• Music, movement, and art as expressions of self
• Environmental stewardship
• Freedom
• Development of critical thinking skills
Details:
Seeking teachers for the 2014-15 school year with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree plus TEFL with preference given to those with a teaching degree. We are located in Cuenca, a beautiful colonial city, large and modern enough to meet all your needs but still compact enough to retain a quaint, small city feeling. Cuenca is a walking city, and teachers can obtain all their needs within the city center. Teachers can enjoy a variety of parks, green spaces, free cultural events such as a symphony and art expositions, and the national park and ruins located a short distance from the city. Ecuador is small enough to allow one to travel throughout the three main regions: beach, mountains, and rainforest during breaks and on weekends. The climate is ideal with spring-like temperatures throughout the year. In recent years Cuenca has become a hot spot for foreigners looking to relocate.
