High School Social Studies Teacher - Kosovo
School Background
Prishtina High School was started more than 11 years ago to provide Kosovar Albanians with a real chance at a good education that would provide them a "real chance at success." This small country of less than 2 million suffered a lot under a war 20 years ago. We view our school as a strategic effort of nation building and an opportunity to be a "salt and light" witness to our students.
OUR MISSION
We equip students to be responsible citizens and active learners by providing a university preparatory education in a safe, caring, and diverse academic community.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to provide the best American-style education possible in Kosovo in order for active learners to reach high academic standards that prepare them for a university of their choice.
To accomplish this:
- We provide students with resources they need to develop appropriate grade-level skills, understanding and performance in all academic areas.
- We provide parents with multiple ways to examine and discuss the academic and social progress of their children.
- We provide teachers with professional training and resources they need for exemplary teaching.
- We provide opportunities for our school to interact with the larger community of Kosovo (other schools, community leaders, businesses and social organizations), so that our students participate in a more comprehensive education.
- We provide a pleasant, caring, stimulating environment for students to achieve full potential in their academic, creative, personal, physical and moral development so that they can make their best contribution to society.
