Come teach in the "Land of the Unexpected"......PNG!
Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries of the world. It wears its nickname, 'The Land of the Unexpected' with pride. With over 800 active languages, diverse cultures and customs within each region, navigating this amazing country keeps everyone, even locals, guessing most of the time.
Vital to the work of MAF and other mission organisations on the field, is the education and preparation of the next generation.
Numonohi Christian Academy, Highland Christian Grammar School and Ukarumpa International School, have a critical need for primary and secondary school teachers. Teachers in these schools nurture the growing faith of students, whose parents, both local and international, have committed themselves to the un-reached peoples of Papua New Guinea.
Unfortunately, Covid19 has had many world-wide effects. One of these effects is the loss of many teachers, meaning many of MAF's school age children have no one to teach them. It is our hope that we can assist the ongoing work of these schools so that our MAF children go to class, and where possible, local and other missionary children can benefit.
We welcome all enquiries for 2024 - 2026. The greatest needs for next school year are high school science or math teachers, as well as foreign language teachers (such as German and Spanish) and elementary teachers.
These roles offer the opportunity, not only for classroom teaching with bright and dedicated students, but also curriculum development and lesson planning with Biblical integration. Teachers also have the opportunity to live in vibrant communities with their fellow teaching staff and the wider community, while building authentic and meaningful relationships with students as they grow and learn together.
Adhering to pre-existing curriculum, management of classroom and student discipline will be expected, as well as attendance at staff team meetings and professional educational activities. There are also many opportunities to be involved in coaching, small group bible studies, music, drama and much more. Teaching is one facet of the discipleship process.
