This aerial photo was taken by one of our parents, photographer Don Hebert, in 2012.  Note the solar panel arrays on our Elementary Building and our International Academy House.  These two systems combined create a 16KW system for VIMSIA.  The aerial photo for 2013 will look VERY different - with several new buildings and an additional 85KW solar array over the playground!

Virgin Islands Montessori School and International Academy  is located on the  beautiful  island of St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands. VIMSIA, was established in 1964, and we offer programs - Toddler through High School. Our classes are well equipped. Our children are exceptional; our seven acre campus is tropically lush fostering outdoor activity. Our students, staff and parents join to create a loving and caring community that is diverse  and unique in many ways. Our island, and school, hosts a truly global community. Competitive salary and benefits package offered.   We regret that owing to immigration restrictions preference will be given to those who either have a green card to work anywhere in the USA (Permanent Residents) or are US citizens. Also, because of the volume of applications that we may receive we will only be contacting the finalist. We thank you in advance for sending in your application.


International Academy Teaching candidates must be amenable to teaching under the auspices of the International Baccalaureate Programme (www.ibo.org). All Academy teaching curriculum will be based on the IB MYP program for grades 7-10 and the IB DB program for grades 11 & 12. VIMSIA is proud to be the first and only International Baccalaureate World School in the US Virgin Islands. In April 2009 we received our IB Diploma Programme authorization for Grades 11 and 12, in March of 2010 we received our IB MYP authorization for grades 7-10.   We are one of less than 300 schools worldwide that have been authorized for both MYP and DP through the International Baccalaureate Organization!

Living on the islands is an amazing experience and will outshine the mainland on many levels, but it is also not nearly as convenient as the mainland. Please do your homework and find out as much information as you can about St. Thomas and the USVI before making a major life change. We are looking for candidates that are not only enthused about employment with our beautiful school, but that are anxious to embrace the unique life-style found here on our tropical islands.
