Our Teaching Opportunities

Requirements and Procedures:

We are a growing school and from time to time we are looking for qualified teachers who do not want to teach in the traditional way.
If you believe that children are born people, not empty vessels waiting to be filled with our superior knowledge, then The Daniel Academy is looking for someone like you. Existing teachers have gone through the steps below and are passionate about our school. 

 

Prerequisites:

 

  1. Read For the Children’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macauley

  2. Watch Ken Robinson’s TED Talks videos on YouTube

  3. Watch videos about the Finnish educational system on YouTube

  4. Write a one-page summary detailing your understanding of the principles discussed in the above resources (Points 1-3)

  5. Write a summary of the four developmental phases of children. (See our Curriculum Page for the description of each class.) Explain what makes each phase different and discuss your thoughts about it. 

  6. Read Perfect Health by Mary-Ann Shearer (available on www.mary-anns.net) and write a one-page summary about the main principles for healthy living as discussed in this book.

  7. Send us your CV with references.

 

Once we receive the above-mentioned documents, we can schedule a meeting with you and discuss teaching opportunities at our school, should you be happy with our requirements.
