Staff Needs

---

Teachers:

Experience Europe while serving the Savior. Imagine yourself impacting MKs (missionary kids) and international students in a country that is only 0.4% Evangelical!  Possible housing and the use of a vehicle are provided for first year teachers serving 5-10 months (some restrictions apply).  All classes are taught in English. 

We have several teacher needs. 

2023-2024 school year​

• Elementary teacher 
• Portuguese teacher

Qualified individuals are welcome to apply for periods of 5-10 months or longer. Over the years God has used recent college graduates, experienced teachers, and retired educators to meet the need. Even if you are not available for the 2023-2024 school year, it is never too early to start the application process. If you don’t see an open position that combines your skills and interests, feel free to communicate with us to start a conversation about how God could use you here. 
 
All of our teachers and staff raise their own financial support to serve at GLCA. However, we do provide free housing and a vehicle to use for first year teachers in some cases.

Currently GLCA serves 33 students from five different countries.  Most of our students are the children of missionaries living and ministering in and around Lisbon. Others are international students from unbelieving families. GLCA has been staffed by missionaries for over 40 years. While each teacher must secure their own funding, (we offer no salary) in order to keep tuition affordable for the missionary families we serve, the school sometimes provides housing and the use of a vehicle for qualified first year teachers.
All staff must:

1. Be committed to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Be involved in a local church.
3. Hold a four-year degree, verified by transcript.
4. Hold a valid teaching certificate for the position for which application is made. **
5. Love kids and have a team player mentality.
6. Come prepared to enjoy the challenges and joys of a wonderful, cross-cultural ministry!

**While we desire that all of our staff have a valid teaching credential, the School Board may make exceptions to the above requirements after careful review on an individual basis. Please contact the school for further detail.
