TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
The Teacher Training Program is total immersion into the teaching profession. The school provides a stipend of $20/hr during the initial training period, and there is some financial support for teachers who wish to begin graduate work. Through this comprehensive work experience, teachers who complete the program gain a unique stepping-stone for a career in teaching. Upon completion of the Teacher Training Program, most teachers apply for full-time teaching positions.
​
To be eligible for the program, candidates must have completed a bachelor's degree. Naturally, an active interest in working with children is essential, along with a desire to participate in all aspects of professional life here at school. Scholaris is committed to the development of compassionate teachers who value, accept, and respect all learners. Our school community strives to create an inclusive environment in which each member feels comfortable and accepted, an environment in which students grow in confidence and intellectual curiosity.
