Qualified ESL Instructors wanted in Ethiopia

Nejashi Ethio-Turkish International Schools ad: 

Mission:

Nejashi Ethio-Turkish International Schools, founded in 2004 as a partnership between Ethiopia and Turkey, are private K-12 schools, focused on math, science, foreign languages, literature, and art subjects.

Our schools accept students from any ethnic and religious background and provide a secular education.

The mission of our schools is to introduce advanced literature, science and math education at a younger age, and ultimately prepare graduates with competitive skills for the real world. We offer hands-on experience through state-of-the-art science and computer labs and provide educational experiences that enhance the teaching and learning of science, mathematics, language and technology beyond the traditional classroom.

Our schools are places where students trust themselves enough to take risks in a safe and supportive environment. We set goals for our students on an individual basis. Learning activities include both cooperative learning and individual projects. Every child makes an individual contribution, and our limited class size allows teachers to see the unique qualities of different learning styles and patterns of growth. Our students learn to pay attention, concentrate on tasks and use knowledge meaningfully.
