The AASSA (Association of American Schools in South America) Recruiting Fair, the first to be held each recruiting season, is specific to South and Latin American International Schools. Typically, there are vacancies in 35 schools for up to 240 positions representing all K-12 educational fields.

This year’s Recruiting Fair will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta Airport located just 1 mile from Hartsfield International Airport.  The hotel offers complimentary transportation to and from the airport every 15 minutes.

The main registration for candidates will take place outside the Siena Ballroom on Thursday, December 4th from 6:00-8:00 pm with an early-morning registration from 7:30 – 8:30 am on December 5th for those unable to register on Thursday evening.

In order to be accepted as a candidate, teachers and administrators must meet the following criteria:

  1. Minimum Bachelor’s degree in area of specialization
  2. Appropriate certification, licensure, eligibility for certification, or lengthy teaching experience
  3. While many of our schools require at least 2 years of full-time experience, some schools will be more willing to mentor new teachers.
  4. Willingness to fulfill an initial 2-year contract commencing generally in August 2009

Candidates with more than one non-working dependent per contracted hire may be at a disadvantage in being hired.

Our schools vary in mission and size and offer a range of curriculums including “American international,” Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and country-specific programs.  Contracts typically include housing, medical benefits, shipping allowance, transportation, home leave and competitive salaries.
