Mexico: Elementary/ Preschool Teacher
Opportunities
For many years the World Gospel Mission Church of Mexico has dreamed of opening a bilingual Christian school in central Mexico. This dream, thanks to the COVID pandemic, is becoming a reality. With schools closing and students turning to online studies, many fell behind in their schoolwork. Centro Cristiano Casa del Alfarero (Potter’s House Christian Center) decided to step in and help by offering tutoring classes. These tutoring sessions were just the first step towards this Christian bilingual school. Potter’s Education Center opened its doors in August 2021 to students in preschool, 1st, and 2nd grade.
Potter’s House Christian Center desires to give students the best education possible. They are requesting help to find volunteer teachers to cover the English portion of their program. Students will be taught in a multigrade setting with all preschoolers in one room, and the two elementary grades will be together in another classroom.
Do you have the training, skills, or disposition to volunteer to teach English for a school year? You can find great satisfaction investing in the lives of little ones. Is God calling you to come?
