Make a Mark in North Africa
The sun-soaked streets and colorful outdoor markets of North Africa are filled with people who have never met a true follower of Jesus. This breathtakingly beautiful region is heavily Muslim. However, unlike many Muslim regions, some areas are open and friendly toward the West.
As a Christian educator, you can help break down stereotypes and build friendships with current and future leaders in North African society. TeachOverseas has been forging strategic partnerships with private schools, language centers and in cities throughout North Africa for almost ten years. We are looking for credentialed teachers and experienced administrators to join our team in this captivating region.

Director's Notes
A note from the Regional Director: Our teachers have a tremendous opportunity to break down stereo types of what it means to be a Christian. Many in the Muslim world equate Christians with what they see in the movies and on TV. However, our teachers have proven that there is a difference between Christians and Hollywood. Christians are different. And their students are beginning to see the difference. We praise God for the opportunity to shine our light for His glory!
God has been shaping our personal character in so many ways. Through it all, TeachOverseas has been a tremendous support.
