Description

Teach in Senegal | Pays de la Teranga | Montessori teachers in Dakar 
 
I am looking for Montessori practicioners with a strong knowledge and a certificate in the Montessori pedagogy to join them in August 2017 for a two years contract renewable on mutual agreement. 
 
Senegal is a welcoming country with one of the most fascinating historical heritage of Africa. Dakar, the capital has plenty of activities and monuments to visit! 
 
Here are 5 things you MUST DO while in Dakar: 
 
1.Take a ferry to the Ile de Goree. The beautiful architecture and rich history of the island make it one of the top places to visit when you are in Dakar. The ferry ride is another highlight, as it offers passengers great views of both the city and the Ile de Goree.
 
2. Go to the westernmost point in Africa. La Pointe des Almadies is as far west as you can get on the continent. There is a great beach there from which you can watch the sunset, and the sand is lined with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops. Going to the Pointe des Almadies is not only one of the top 5 things to do in Dakar, but one of the top things to do in all of Africa.
 
3. Take a day trip to Lac Rose. Not far from Dakar is the famous pink lake, which is so named because in a certain light the water looks rose colored. Visitors can go there for lunch, participate in adventure sports, or go shopping at the craft stalls by the water’s edge.
 
4. Experience the nightlife in Dakar. The city has some of the best nightlife in West Africa, and no trip is complete without a visit to a bar or club. Dakar also has a vibrant music scene, and going to a live show is a great way to experience the Senegalese culture.
 
5. Take a day trip to the Village des Tortues. The turtle conservation center is a great place to see large and small turtles alike. It is located near Lac Rose, and can easily be combined with the lake on a day trip. Visiting the two destinations is definitely one of the top 5 things to do in Dakar.
 
This Montessori School is located in a safe, vibrant and enjoyable area of Dakar called " The Almadies" where you could easily find some coffeshops, bars, American food store,restaurants and the beach at only 15minutes walk. 
 
I must let you know that costs of living in Dakar are extremely cheap, with an average monthly cost of living of around 300,000 FCFA per month. 
 
The school will offer a package of: 
  • Salary of around 450,000 FCFA per month 
  • Medical insurance 
  • Return flights 
  • Visa provided 
  • Contract lenght of two years 
 
The school is know for being one of the best Montessori schools in Africa, the Head of School is institing on providing a stimulating and creative to the childrens, following the Montessori pedagogy.

  • Montessori certificate
