English Language Missionary Teacher - Santa Catarina Juquila, México - Global Education Ministries

Descripción

Overview:GEM operates 5 international gospel-saturated schools in 3 countries (Mexico, Uganda, and Colombia). GEM is looking for gifted teachers who are passionate about sharing their faith inside and outside of the classroom. Our gospel-saturated schools are unique in that we take each aspect of school, and we seek to infuse each aspect with the gospel.
The La Luz School is located in the beautiful mountain town of Juquila in Oaxaca, Mexico. Juquila is home to around 6,000 people, and is a safe city with a slower pace of life. It is a small indigenous town, and it is rich in local culture. The La Luz School offers a unique, pre-K through 8th grade private, gospel-saturated education. Students come from middle and lower class families, and for many, this is their only option to receive a private, Christian education. The La Luz school uses Mexican-based standards designed to meet the needs of the students and their families and prepare them for continued education in the Mexican school system. As an English Language Missionary Teacher, you are able to leverage your life in a really impactful and meaningful way. You will have the opportunity to serve the Lord while pouring out your life in the classroom for the purpose of planting seeds of the gospel in the hearts of your students, while committing to excellence in the classroom as you teach the English language to our students at The La Luz School each day
Job Objective:Create and maintain a positive learning environment within the classroom, supporting each student academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
