Spanish Teacher

We are looking for an amazing homeroom/Spanish teacher to join our team teaching elementary students. You would be joining a highly dynamic and energetic team that seeks to bring out the best in each student. Our classes range from 10 to 29 students, and you would be working with two classes at the most, on the same grade level.

Our Spanish teachers are expected to plan their lessons covering the main areas of the language as well as grading. Along with English, our team also covers other state-mandated subjects such as Maths, History, Geography, and ethics.

Working hours are 7:30-3:30. A typical day starts with motor lobby duty every other week. On the weeks where you are not required to be on duty, you will be at a station, greeting the students as they arrive and making sure they are safe until classes start.

Class periods range from 45-to 50 minutes. On most days you will have at least one "free" period while students have other classes (technology, religion, music, sports), some days you will have even two or three such periods on alternating weeks. You are responsible for getting your students to and from these special classes (except for music and religion which are taught in your classroom, and the teacher will come to you).

Other duties you would be expected to cover are lunch/recess according to a rotating schedule among all teachers and dismissal which is covered by all teachers daily and takes about 20 minutes, after which you can go home even if it is before your "official" school day is over.

We offer gender-separated education, in mixed environments. This means that classes are taught in single-gender classrooms but all other activities are co-ed. You could even design lessons in which the girls present their work to the boys and vice versa, or have a joint project which would be worked on by each class and the put together.

We are currently shifting from traditional education to active-learning environments, so any ideas you have that make our students work in a cooperative, active, and reflective way are welcome! We favor differentiation and gamification, and we are sure that your ideas will benefit the community!

Being Catholic is not a requirement for the position, but you would be required to support the activities carried out by the school and attend functions such as First Friday Mass and Daily Communion with your students as a chaperone.

Payment is on the 15th and last day of the month.

About the School

We are a Catholic, bilingual school that seeks to train Christian leaders with the tools to unleash their full potential, capable of facing the challenges they will have in life and contributing to the good of their family and society. We celebrate the talents of each student, which make them who they are, as well as the rhythms in which they learn, develop, and excel. We believe that the student is the protagonist of their learning and the entire educational community, together with their family, accompanies and guides them to reach their best version. We are part of the Semper Altius Network, an international network of Catholic bilingual schools that implement the educational model of the Regnum Christi movement in 19 countries in America, Europe, and Asia. We have 65 years of experience and more than 70,000 graduates. We are accredited by COGNIA®, the largest educational accreditation institution worldwide. This recognition validates compliance with standards for school leadership, learning, and resource management related to the proper functioning of the institution, the creation of effective learning environments, and the achievement of educational results. Having this accreditation allows us, in addition to complying with international standards, to issue school reports and certificates valid in other countries, and it is, to a large extent, what endorses us as a true International School.
