For 12 years, Richmond School District No.38, in Metro Vancouver has been providing professional support to Canadian teachers working in public schools in Shenzhen, China. For September 2018, we will continue to provide support for this highly successful program that demonstrates a Canadian approach in K to 9 education. In fact, we understand that this program will grow from 18 teachers to include at least 23 teachers next year in 5 schools in Shenzhen.

This program represents a terrific opportunity for teachers to enjoy a one year or longer teaching experience in southern China (45 minutes from Hong Kong by taxi). All hired teachers in the program will be assured of the option to join the Teacher on Call (TTOC) list for Richmond School District No. 38 in Metro Vancouver upon their return to Canada.

Compensation for this program is one of the best in China as it includes a salary and benefits package that is comparable to teachers working in Canada including but not limited to free accommodation, a settlement allowance, airfare and a contribution to mid-year travel. We are able to better compensate teachers because our goals are much broader than high profit driven models that are found in many Chinese cities.

While the majority of the instruction delivered is focused on teaching English as a Foreign Language, our teachers have the opportunity to teach other subject areas (non-core unless there is Mandarin facility) from time to time, contingent on skill set. All the teaching positions are within Chinese public schools and follow the Chinese curriculum. Our purpose in Shenzhen is to provide excellent English instruction and to provide opportunities for Chinese school teachers, administrators and parents to observe our Canadian teaching methodologies. 

To date, the program has proven to be interesting and rewarding for the Chinese students, professional staff and parents from the schools, as well as, virtually all of the more than 80 Canadian teacher participants to date.

All applicants need to be certified Canadian teachers
