Overview: GEM is looking for gifted teachers who are passionate about sharing their faith inside and outside of the classroom! Our gospel-saturated schools are unique in that we take each aspect of school, and we seek to infuse each aspect with the gospel.
The Manantial School is located in the beautiful coastal town of Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico. Puerto Escondido is home to 30,000 people, and is a safe city with a slower pace of life. There are multiple forms of public transportation, and many social and cultural opportunities. The Manantial School offers a unique, full English immersion program to local Mexican children who predominantly come from middle and lower class families. The Manantial School is a gospel-saturated, K-12th program, with a mixture of U.S.-based standards and Mexican-based standards designed to meet the needs of the students and their families and prepare them for different paths after graduation.
Job Objective: As a Middle School Math Missionary Teacher, you will be able to leverage your life in a really impactful and meaningful way, as you make a difference in the lives of each of your students! You will have the opportunity to serve the Lord while pouring out your life in the classroom! You will create and maintain a positive learning environment within the classroom, supporting each student academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Most importantly, each teacher is also a missionary, using their skills as a teacher to plant seeds of the gospel of Jesus Christ each day.
