Foreign teachers have the opportunity to teach in accredited primary and secondary schools in the United States.

​

Teachers must:

• Meet the qualifications for teaching in primary or secondary schools in their country of nationality or last legal residence;

• Be working as a teacher in the home country or country of legal residence at the time of application, or, if not working as a teacher, otherwise meet the eligibility qualifications and (a) have recently (within 12 months of application) completed an advanced degree and (b) have two years of full-time teaching experience within the past eight years;

• Have a degree-equivalent to a U.S. bachelor’s degree in either education or the academic subject field in which they intend to teach;

• Have a minimum of two years (24 months) of teaching or related professional experience;

• Satisfy the standards of the U.S. state in which they will teach;

• Be of good reputation and character;

• Be seeking to enter the United States for the purpose of full-time teaching as a teacher of record at a primary (including pre-kindergarten) or secondary accredited educational institution in the United States (pre-kindergarten teachers must teach full-time, and at the pre-kindergarten level, may teach only language immersion at an accredited host school);

• Possess sufficient proficiency in the English language.

Benefits

Educational and cultural enrichment: Exchange teachers sharpen their professional skills and participate in cross-cultural activities in schools and communities, and they return to their home school after the exchange to share their experiences and increased knowledge of the United States and the U.S. educational system.

Repeat participation

• Teachers are eligible to repeat the program provided that they have resided outside the United States for two years and continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
