Private: Teach in a U.S. School Full Placement
Overview
Greenheart Exchange’s Teach USA program connects enthusiastic, highly-qualified international teachers with U.S. host schools to promote cultural understanding and public diplomacy.
The purpose of the Teach USA program is to promote interaction and enhance mutual understanding between U.S. and international teachers. Participating teachers are placed in a K-12 host school for 1-3 years and teach a wide range of subjects. During this program, teachers can expect to sharpen their professional skills and take part in cross-cultural activities within their schools and local communities.
Greenheart Exchange provides two (2) program options:
- Self-Placed (SP): placements are arranged directly between the teacher and the host school, supplemented by Greenheart Exchange’s sponsorship. To confirm the host school is recognized as an accredited school in the US, please refer to the link below:
