A Unique Opportunity

NCA International is a unique school with an exciting task in Nicaragua. NCA seeks to train up future leaders to demonstrate true servant leadership and make decisions based on the Word of God and a compassion for their country. As a teacher at NCA International, you are given the awesome responsibility of teaching and preparing children for leadership in government, business, education, the church, and their communities. Our vision is the formation of Christ-followers who, motivated by heartfelt love for God, live as global agents of change!

Requirements for Faculty

• Personal relationship with Jesus Christ; Evangelical Christian testimony with active local church experience
• 4-year degree in Education or "in-field"
• Teacher certification and 2 years experience recommended for all positions
• Sense of calling to teach in a developing nation setting
• Willingness to make a two (or more) year commitment

Benefits for Full-Time Faculty

• Basic monthly stipend provided: $575 living stipend + $170 housing stipend

Raising Support

Teachers are encouraged to seek support through evangelical mission agencies and through local churches to cover their travel and monthly living expenses. The basic monthly stipend is generally enough to cover the in-country living expenses of a single teacher. We recommend raising additional support to cover family expenses, travel to and from Nicaragua, medical insurance, and other financial obligations.
