What does it mean to be an Intern candidate?

Intern positions are available for graduating seniors and recent college graduates who wish to spend an academic year working in an international school. Intern candidates may have teaching certification/qualifications and some teaching experience, one year or less, but most successful interns do not have such a background . Internships are paid positions (lower salaries than teachers) and usually have the same benefits given to teaching candidates, such as health insurance, round trip airfare and more. If you would like more information regarding intern positions, and/or whether you would be more competitive as an intern or teaching candidate, please contact our Intern Coordinator, Brian Lettinga.
