TEACHING PROGRAMS
Introduction
Starlight Teach USA program connects enthusiastic, highly qualified international teachers with U.S. host schools to promote cultural understanding and public diplomacy. The purpose of the Teach USA program is to promote interaction and enhance mutual understanding between U.S. and international teachers. Participating teachers are placed in a K-12 host school for 1-3 years and teach a wide range of subjects. During this program, teachers can expect to sharpen their professional skills and take part in cross-cultural activities within their schools and local communities.
    Starlight offers two ways to do this program:
Self-Placed (SP):
- Placements are arranged directly between the teacher and a Teach USA approved host school facilitated by Starlight Capital.
 Best Practices for Host School Approval:
- Â If you are a self-placed teacher with an official offer and/or Letter of Intent, ensure your host school completes the host school application immediately; all new host schools must be approved by starlight prior to an official placement approval.
- To assist in locating an accredited host school in the U.S., we recommend contacting us prior to submitting your request. There are several accreditation agencies available to host schools. Keep in mind accreditation will vary school to school. Recognized by state does not satisfy proof of accreditation. Confirm with your host school, prior to signing an employment offer letter or contract, that they are in fact accredited and are an approved host school.
