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 around the IB MYP program for grades 7-10 and around the IB DB program for grades 11 & 12. VIMSIA is proud to be the first International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB MYP) Candidate School in the US Virgin Islands (Grades 7 to 10). In April 2009 we received our IB Diploma Programme authorization for Grades 11 and 12, making us the first and only IB World School in the USVI. Montessori Teaching positions require an AMI teaching certificate. Interested candidates email resume and references to: Peggy Hunt, info@vimontessori.com, or phone (340) 775-6360; Fax: (340) 775-3080.
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 able to embrace the unique life-style found here on our islands.
