Teacher Needed – Small Mission School (Kapsowar, Kenya)

About the School

Our school operates as a hybrid model, blending homeschool, online learning, and co-op instruction. We serve a small group of seven missionary and expat students (ages 6–17) in a one-room schoolhouse setting. An American teacher currently works with younger students, while this role is presently focused on monitoring, supporting, and grading online coursework for older students. As the school grows or changes, the role may adapt to support different age groups as needed.

Students are English-speaking and come from Western missionary and expat families.
