A
Year or a Lifetime? SCCLC needs teachers of all age groups
and all subject areas. Whether you are currently a student
teacher, teacher or administrator in the public or private
sector, or retired... if you have a sincere desire to serve
God through teaching, a willingness to trust God for financial
support and want to model Christian principles in and out
of the classroom, you may be just the one God wants to serve
on the SCCLC Team!

Not a teacher? You can still get involved
at SCCLC in many ways. Some possibilities are: office administration,
computer technology, or campus maintenance.
You
can also be a part of our team by praying for the school,
its ministries, or its needs.
Or
perhaps you can help financially with a project, by supporting
a teacher, or providing a scholarship for a student. Gifts,
sent to the school through any of the three owner missions
are tax-deductible.

There are approximately 200 students in grades Pre-Kindergarden
through 12th Grade. 51% of SCCLC students are from
missionary families, and 49% of the students come
from families of the diplomatic corps, international
business community, and the local community. The two
missions who own and operate SCCLC are:
South America Mission (SAM)
World Gospel Mission (WGM)
Most
come to SCCLC through one of these, although you may
apply under the umbrella of another mission of your
choosing.
Trusting
God to provide your financial and prayer support will
be necessary. We serve a great God who is able to do
exceedingly more than we ever expect! Take the first
step today by contacting SCCLC or one of the missions
shown above.

TERM
LENGTH: Both career and short-term (1-2 years) acceptable.
LANGUAGE: All classes are taught in English.
No other language knowledge required by school. Spanish would
be helpful.
TRAINING: Bachelor’s degree required. Certification
with experience preferred but not required. Certification by Association
of Christian Schools International is best. (For info write: ACSI,
P.O. Box 35097, Colorado Springs, CO 80935) Experience without
certification acceptable with good references. Very willing to
look at applications of newly graduated teachers with an evidenced
interest in missionary children’s schools.
MISSION: The school is owned and operated cooperatively
by two missions: South America Mission (SAM), and World Gospel
Mission (WGM). Most staff come to us as missionaries with one
of these three, although you can also apply to work with us under
the umbrella of another mission with whom you would feel more
comfortable if that mission has missionaries working (located)
in Santa Cruz. SAM is non-denominational sending agencies of evangelical
Baptist and Calvinist traditions. WGM is a nondenominational sending
agency of Wesleyan persuasion.
If you choose to come with one of the three owner missions, choose
the one that has a Statement of Faith you can most closely identify
with (Baptist /Calvinist / Wesleyan) and write, call, or email
the Candidate Secretary of that mission, indicating the position
you wish to fill with the Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center.
The addresses of the candidate secretaries for the three missions
are:
..........................................Click
Here to see addresses of missions!
They will supply you with the forms and information you need and
process your application. They will also notify the school of
your interest and keep them informed of your progress
Canadians: All three missions have offices and/or representatives
in Canada. Please contact the U.S. office first, however, since
that is each mission’s central office. They in turn will
provide you with the name of the person you need to speak to in
Canada.
SALARY:
You need to be aware that anyone coming to us with one of the three
owner missions (or just about any other non-denominational mission)
will need to raise his/her own support. The school does not pay
salaries to its teachers. Each mission has its support requirements.
The Candidate Secretary will inform you of what these are.
However, we can help you by writing a letter which you can send
to those you think might support you (friends, family, churches,
other teachers) to encourage them to take on a portion of your support
and explaining the importance of what you will be doing. This can
be very effective.
We
ask that you make every effort to raise all the support you need
plus cash for your expenses (airfare, government paperwork, etc.).
However, if at the last minute you are still short, we can offer
you round-trip airfare and up to $200.00 per month towards your
support. Please be aware that for us to offer this requires us to
take a step of faith in the Lord’s provisions for the school’s
needs. Most of the time, if the Lord wants you to join us, He will
see that your every need is supplied from outside sources. You just
need to take that first big step of faith and commit your needs
to Him trusting He will supply.
THE
CHALLENG
|
- |
A
teacher is first and foremost, a minister of the Gospel to
his pupils. Our purpose is to first reach those who have not
accepted the Lord as their Saviour, and secondly, to disciple
those who have trusted Him. We do this by teaching the whole
Word of God as it touches on every aspect of the curriculum.d |
| - |
A
teacher ministers to the missionary community, indirectly
through his pupils, and directly by freeing missionary parents
to do the work that the Lord has called them to. We believe
that the education of the children in a family is the God-given
responsibility of the parents. Those parents who put their
children in our school delegate that responsibility to us,
and we seek to fulfill that responsibility by providing a
well-rounded education thoroughly integrated with God’s
Word as it applies to every area. By making it possible
for other ministries to take place and grow, the teacher plays
a direct part in those other ministries. This is truly a blessing!
It has been shown that from 25 to 50% of the missionary force
would not be on the field today if it were not for the presence
of the missionary children’s’ schools! |
| - |
A
teacher ministers to a segment of the national community that
few missionaries are ever able to reach. Because of the high
costs of our school and the requirement that all students
be able to speak English, the national students tend to come
from wealthy Bolivian families. Most of these are Roman Catholic
or agnostic, would never set foot in a church door to attend
an evangelistic crusade and could not be reached with door-to-door
evangelism. Yet they desire a moral education for their children,
and the Lord enables our teachers to reach into hitherto closed
homes with the Gospel through their children. Each year many
of the students have come to know the Lord and have evidenced
it by exhibiting real change in their lives. They become God’s
ambassadors to their own homes. |
|
- |
Studies
have shown that a majority of missionary children enter full-time
Christian service later in life, due in no small part to their
training in schools like ours. Thus the teacher is a long-range
contributor to the future!
|
|
- |
Since
teaching here is a ministry, not a job, we have found that
the student response to teaching is a more satisfactory
one than our teachers have experienced elsewhere. Parents
are generally very cooperative in the teaching experience
wherever necessary.
