Switzerland

Primary teachers may apply for the French or German speaking areas of Switzerland and must be completely fluent. Secondary teachers (children aged 11-15) may be able to teach certain subjects in English as there are a growing number of English Immersion pilot programs in Swiss schools. The subjects taught in English at this level would likely be Music, Physical Education, Art, Family Studies. At the high school level (ages 15-19) again, many subjects may be taught in English such as Science, Mathematics, Geography, Physical Education, English (literature) and History. Opportunities always exist as well for German, French and Italian speaking teachers.



Applicants should be aware that although the cost of living in Switzerland is high, Swiss teachers subsidize Canadian teachers to some extent. Applications must be in by December 31st.
