Teach Abroad - Spend the Summer or a Full Year!

If you have a summer, or a full-year to spare, YRLC can assist in placing you in a school in China, Korea or Taiwan.

Our client schools range in size and include all types of educational institutions: private, public, urban and rural, traditional and alternative, secular and denominational.

We connect schools with teachers by matching your credentials to school requirements according to the criteria that they have provided. Throughout the hiring process, our staff works with you to facilitate the perfect fit.

Although both schools and teachers are our clients; the schools list their position openings with us and ask us to find them teachers; therefore, the schools pay our fees, not you!

For more information, view details of the summer or full-year assignments.

How to Apply

Complete an application form (full-year or summer) and submit it to teach.abroad@yrdsb.edu.on.ca. Upon receipt you will be contacted on the required next steps.
