Primary School Teacher K-2 - Liberia (2027)

Overview

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) is a Christian organisation using light aircraft to deliver help, hope and healing in 24 developing countries. For over 75 years, MAF has been transporting patients, relief workers, produce and medical supplies to the world’s remotest regions and places of deepest human need – places where flying is not a luxury but a lifeline.

Liberia is a country located on the Atlantic coast in West Africa and shares a border with three neighbouring countries. Over the past 30 years, Liberia has suffered from civil war, disease, corruption and poverty. The annual six-month wet season disables the few roads which exist and means that those who live here struggle to gain access to some of the services we take for granted. A two-hour flight for one of our partners can save two to three days’ journey overland in the dry season and provide accessibility in the wet season

To enable MAF to carry out this critical work, we are in urgent need of Primary School teachers to be seconded to Dakar Liberia Co-op. The co-op opened in August 2022 and is a small but growing mission school that strives to provide high quality, international education in a loving Christian environment. The school primarily serves the children of families in the capitol city of Monrovia working with MAF, SIM and Samaritan’s Purse. Without this school, MAF pilots, engineers and managers with young families would be unable to commit to working in Liberia.

The Academy is looking for a dedicated elementary teacher who is passionate about educating children academically and spiritually. You will be a committed follower of Jesus Christ who has the desire to teach the bible and model Chirst-centres life to students. You will lead multi-grade classroom, supporting students of varying ages and ability levels while fostering a nurturing, structures, and engaing learning environment.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching core subjects to a multi‑grade classroom, designing and delivering engaging lessons that accommodate diverse ages, learning styles and academic levels. This role requires the intentional integration of Biblical truth and Christian values across the curriculum, including providing regular Bible instruction and modelling Christ‑like character. Daily duties include planning differentiated instruction, assessing student progress and adjusting teaching to meet individual needs. The teacher will also maintain an organised, positive and respectful classroom environment, communicate clearly with parents regarding student progress and classroom activities, collaborate with other staff to support the school’s mission, and demonstrate flexibility and creativity in a dynamic teaching environment.
