We have an urgent need for a grades 3-5 teacher! Come and teach at the WASC accredited Ukarumpa International School – Primary Campus, in the cool highlands of Papua New Guinea. It is attended by 150 children from preschool to grade 6. We have a new school, good resources, supportive parents, and a committed and professional teaching staff. Face the challenge of teaching children from as many as 14 different countries in English whilst at the same time integrating a Christian worldview into your lessons.
