Date: Friday, 22 March 2019, at 1:17 p.m.
- Abaarso School, featured on 60 Minutes, in the New York Times and BBC
World, is a non-profit boarding high school educating the best and the
brightest Somali students in the Horn of Africa. The school prepares
students to excel in higher education, while also focusing on
extracurricular activities and community service. The school encourages
morality and a strong sense of responsibility for improving the
students' community. While only founded in 2009, Abaarso School has
achieved success not seen in the area for several decades.
After four
graduating classes, over 130 Abaarso students have earned full
scholarships to continue their education abroad, including at Harvard,
Yale, Columbia, Brown, MIT, Swarthmore, Amherst, Brandeis, and many
more. The school won the 2018 International Somali Award for Outstanding
Contribution to the Community, and is one of a handful of schools in
sub-Saharn Africa to hold accreditation from the New England Association
of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
Abaarso is looking for individuals interested in dedicating at
least one year to training these top high school students. Teachers will
join the school culture that puts the growth of the school and the
students first, while finding a way around the challenges inherent in
working in the developing world. Between the classroom, preparation,
student groups, office hours, and other projects, teachers should expect
approximately 70 hours of work each week. With successful performance,
significant upward mobility is possible for staff members.
The following qualifications and experiences are highly desired:
prior teaching experience, altruistic work/volunteer experience,
experiencing working with children, prior work or study experience in
developing countries. Abaarso School is looking for teachers in various
disciplines including English, computer science (computer literacy,
networking, programming), math (up to Calculus), social studies, and the
sciences (general science, physics, biology and chemistry).
Abaarso School teaching positions are determined through a year-round rolling application process but we are currently accepting applications for teachers in various subjects for a start date in August 2019.
