Teaching with Participate Learning is more than a job opportunity. It provides personal growth and development while also allowing teaching full-time in the U.S. Education system. International teachers provide authentic and effective learning experiences for all students while preparing them to be active citizens of the world.

In an exciting collaboration with several districts in North Carolina and Virginia, we are hiring creative and dedicated professionals who believe all children can be successful. You will be a cultural ambassador for your country, sharing local traditions and inspiring a love for the wider world in U.S. students. 

At Buckhorn Creek Elementary the goal is to create a school environment that honors every child as they take responsibility, collaborate, and engage. We believe success is achieved through high academic expectations and strong social-emotional learning. Buckhorn Creek Elementary is based within the Wake County Public School System. The robust support programs for current and future educators, outstanding school facilities, and flexible school calendars are just a few of the many reasons to work in the Wake County Public School System.
