Quotes From Staff - 2007

John Tompkins (Alumni)

HS English Teacher

28 years at Dalat

The best part of working at Dalat is knowing you have an impact for Christ and His Kingdom. Many of my former students are now serving the Lord on the mission field or in mission-related ministries. Many of them have become pastors and teachers. It’s neat to have an impact for Christ in this way. A side benefit is that you build life-long friendships with people from many different cultures and backgrounds. I can travel pretty much in any continent on earth and find former students/staff to bond with.

 

Employment Opportunities for the
2008-2009 School Year

Dalat International School (DIS) is a private Christian boarding school operated by an independent school board. Started as a school for missionary children, Dalat has grown to meet the needs of both missionary and business expatriate families in Southeast Asia. In order for the school to maintain low tuition fees, staff are offered a modest salary and benefits contract that is similar to that of missionaries. Staff answer God’s calling on their lives to cross-cultural ministry in this unique, dynamic environment. Please take time to read through the School Profile and the Salary and Benefits Contract so that you better understand the school and ministry you’re applying to. Please understand that you are applying to work and live in a third world country and that preparedness for overseas ministry is an important component of this process.

DIS is seeking dynamic, enthusiastic, caring professionals who are professing Christians. Candidates must have an understanding of Christian education and have the ability to integrate Biblical principles in their teaching. Candidates should possess strong communication and interpersonal skills, be adept with technology and demonstrate flexibility in working in a cross-cultural environment. Candidates must be willing to incorporate cooperative learning strategies and ESL-sensitive instruction. Teachers are expected to have a bachelor’s degree or higher and be certified. Two or more years of experience is preferred.
