What Is a SAISIP Internship?

SAISIP offers recent graduates from U.S. and Canadian college and universities the opportunity to serve as teaching interns in overseas international schools.

As a SAISIP intern you will:

• Gain valuable teaching experience and training by working closely with experienced international educators.
• Work directly with students in teaching, coaching, tutoring and supervising extracurricular activities.
• Live in a foreign country and be part of an international school staff serving children of many nations.
• Receive round-trip transportation, health insurance and a monthly stipend which should support an acceptable standard of living and some travel.
• Most of the overseas schools where interns are placed are private American and international schools with a curriculum similar to U.S. schools. For example, the school year is usually the same as in North American beginning in August or September and ending in June. English is the language of instruction.
• Knowledge of the host country's language is not necessary, however, interns are encouraged to immerse themselves in the local culture and language.
