Under supervision of the Primary Coordinator, you will work with groups of children in a teaching or supporting capacity, depending on level of experience and length of stay.
In addition you will help with homework the children receive from their mainstream school. You will be a part of planning and delivering classes in reading comprehension and Maths, following SKIP´s pre-written curriculum.
The Education Department
There are over 300 children between the ages of four and eighteen years old currently enrolled in the education programme, which makes it the largest department in SKIP. We aim to maintain an exciting, stimulating and engaging learning environment. Our aim is not to replace the local education system, but rather supplement it. Following a curriculum designed especially for the children at SKIP, we provide classes in subjects such as reading comprehension, Math and Computing.
The Primary Programme
There are 9 classes in our primary programme. Class sizes vary between 15 and 25 students. Twice a week, the children have afternoon lessons in Maths, English and reading comprehension. Once a week they have an afternoon of Art, Sport and homework help. See here for more information on our primary programme.
