Do you love being on the river or trail, and sharing that passion?  Are you eager to motivate young leaders while engaging them in place-based learning?  Join our team at Alzar School, an accredited semester high school and nonprofit, with the mission to "build leaders who positively impact the world."  We are based in Cascade, Idaho and Coyhaique, Chile. 

TEACHER:

We are equipped to support early career educators and train qualified individuals to be successful high school teachers (including earning a teaching license). Teachers travel to Chile with students for 7-8 weeks each semester, and join 6-12 day expeditions in both Idaho and Chile, leading in backpacking or whitewater river expeditions.

COMMUNITY AND EXPERIENTIAL ADVISOR (CEA):

Support student well-being in a residential boarding school environment. Serve as mentor, PE teacher, academic sub, and more. Our CEAs form close bonds with students and help create an inclusive and powerful community. Like teachers, CEAs also travel to Chile and lead as outdoor instructors on expeditions in Idaho and Patagonia, Chile.

We invite applicants from a variety of backgrounds to apply, and firmly believe that a diverse faculty enriches our staff community and connections with students.  Some applicants may possess skills in certain areas and less experience in others, for example: academic, outdoor, residential, leadership, or cultural, amongst others.  We look forward to the opportunity to review your application!

Come inspire students in the stunning mountains of east-central Idaho and Patagonia, Chile!
