Three Pillars of Our Global Educator Approach

Careful Recruitment & Vetting

We recruit professionally trained, credentialed international educators through intensive application and interview processes. 

Strategic Placement & Cultural Matching

Educators are matched with K-12 schools in North Carolina and surrounding states based on qualifications and mutual needs. 

Comprehensive Ongoing Support & Development

From arrival orientation to professional development, we provide continuous academic, social, and cultural support throughout.

  • Application Phase

    Rigorous Selection Process Ensures Only the Best Educators

    Our intensive application process includes credential verification, multiple interviews, and English proficiency assessment to ensure excellence.
  • Placement Phase

    Strategic Matching with School Districts Seeking Cultural Enrichment

    We carefully match qualified educators with partner school districts, considering subject expertise, grade level experience, and cultural fit.
  • Orientation Phase

    In-Depth Preparation for Life and Teaching in the United States

    Comprehensive orientation covers professional development, cultural training, banking setup, housing assistance, and community integration support.

    Sharing Knowledge and Building Global Citizens in U.S. Classrooms

    Educators actively participate in cross-cultural activities, inspire students to become global citizens, and prepare to share U.S. insights.

The guidance and support received since you step in the U.S. and having a panel [of Global Champions] sharing their own experience, I think is very valuable. Nothing like hearing the things from someone living the experience."
