If you are an experienced teacher who is excited about the opportunity to step into your own classroom in the U.S. where you can collaborate with other like-minded educators and prepare students for success in a global society, apply for VIF's International Teacher Program. Teachers in this program should be prepared to live and work in the U.S. for a minimum of two years. Please note that applying to VIF is a competitive process that can take several months to complete. Teachers accepted into the program often wait one or two years before they move to the U.S.

To begin the application process, first register online. When we are ready to consider applications from teachers in your country and in your subject area, we will invite you to complete an application. Invitations to apply will be sent via email.  Registering for the program is easy — Complete your registration form today.

If you would like to build your knowledge of elementary and immersion techniques, improve your English language skills, and develop the skills to lead your own elementary immersion classroom, you should apply for VIF's Dual Language Teacher Residency Program.  The residency program allows teachers with an interest in language immersion an opportunity to co-teach in a US elementary immersion classroom with a highly qualified lead teacher for one school year. Successful residents can then transition to their own immersion classroom if all requirements are met. Please note that some of the benefits and requirements for the Dual Language Teacher Residency Program differ from those for the International Teacher Program.

We are now accepting applications for the Dual Language Teacher Residency Program. The first step is to register online. If you meet our requirements for participation, we will invite you to complete an application. Register with us today.
