Join Our Experienced & Dynamic Team
Dalat is a biblically-based, Christ-following day and boarding school located on the island of Penang off the west coast of Malaysia. Started as a school for missionary children, Dalat has grown to meet the needs of both missionary and business expatriate families in Southeast Asia as well as local Malaysian families.
The school has been providing quality education since 1929. 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.
November through March each school year Dalat seeks dynamic, enthusiastic, caring professionals who are follower of Christ for employment in the next school year.

Salary and Benefits
Dalat offers a needs-based contract to meet the daily needs of staff living and working in Malaysia. Some benefits for expatriate staff include roundtrip airfare, housing allowance, health insurance, tuition for up to 2 dependents, and a professional development allowance.
In order to help provide affordable education for the children of missionaries, the staff sacrificially work for a lower salary. The basic salary scale is based on experience and education.
