  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Our students are a wonderful mix of native English and Spanish speakers, offering you daily opportunities to engage in meaningful language exchange. If you choose to lead an English or Spanish class for the community, you'll deepen your practice even further. Outside of school, you'll find plenty of chances to improve your Spanish, as our charming town is mostly Spanish-speaking, making every outing a chance to learn and connect."

  Help

  We are looking for a nice, and patient person who would like to either help teaching the core subjects of the students or do creative projects with them in the form of electives or extracurricular classes. You can also teach an ESL or Spanish class for people in the community. You can also facilitate nature walks and field trips to the wonderful spots we have here. We would love to integrate your passions—whether it’s gardening, chess, yoga, coding, making music, carpentry, or anything that our students can profit from as a classroom project. You’ll be warmly supported and invited to share in our community’s rhythm and spirit.
  
  You’ll volunteer alongside experienced, passionate educators and help nurture a joyful, child-centered learning environment. In your free time, you can explore the valley, hike, birdwatch, or simply relax in nature.
  
  We welcome reliable, positive, and creative people who enjoy spending time with children/teenagers. You should speak either English or Spanish. We also have German speakers among our school community.
