WorldTeach volunteers in Costa Rica teach English at public primary schools (first through sixth grades) under the auspices of the Ministry of Education.  Most teaching placements are in small towns in rural areas throughout the country.

Volunteers depart in January, receive a month of orientation training, and teach through early December (12 month commitment required).  The school year in Costa Rica is from February through early December.

The year-long program requires a Bachelor's degree (in any subject), flexibility, and a desire to teach young children.  You need not be a US citizen, but must be a native English speaker.
