We offer you to teach any subject which can be found in the curriculum of the private schools which we cooperate with. In case you are interested, please contact us and we will promptly notify you whether such subject is available.
Your future students come from the lowest caste in India, the caste of untouchables. Most of them had never been to state schools because they had to work from an early age. Others dropped out of state schools because of common discrimination towards them. Therefore, attending one of the private schools run by the Jesuits is a great opportunity for them and it gives them a chance to change their future.
As you will notice, memorizing is still the main teaching method used in India. Thus the logical thinking of children does not develop. It is up to you to change this situation with your innovative techniques, unusual methods and devices, and with it, you can reveal the secrets and beauty of various disciplines. Studying with fun will welcome enthusiastically not only us, but especially your future students. This experience will enable you to enjoy how indescribably you will affect the lives of local children and ultimately the entire community.
Please be prepared for modest conditions and basic amenities in the classrooms. You will be able to use the physical and chemical laboratories, computer room and library with your students. You can also count on the fact, that personal consultant will be constantly available to you – a local teacher who will gladly accompany you during your pedagogical growth. You can rely on our advice, help, support and understanding. Do not forget – we will be always here for you.
