Overview of Teaching Overseas

In addition to experiencing a new culture and the opportunity to travel, BC teachers enjoy a variety of advantages and benefits while teaching abroad:

  • Gain relevant experience teaching the BC curriculum
  • Develop and sharpen your professional teaching skills
  • Make lifelong connections with educators from around the world
  • Become a global citizen and experience different worldviews
  • Become an informal ambassador to share Canadian culture
  • Save money and pay off your student loans
  • Make lifelong connections with educators, administrators, students, and families from around the world

The BC government annually inspects offshore schools to ensure compliance with the requirements of the BC Global Education program. As an operating requirement, BC-certified offshore schools must employ BC-certified teachers.
