Faculty
The Americas Bicultural School requires all its teachers to have a Bachelor Degree Education. Most of our teachers have a Masters Degree in Education. All faculty members are required to accumulate a total of one hundred and twenty (120) clock hours of professional development activities over a period of five years. This institution provides conferences, seminars, workshops and more.
Our school is proud of its teaching staff. Most teachers have been with us for many years thus ensuring the fulfillment of The Americas Bicultural School’s goal of educating for leadership. They have shown proof of intellectual, social and practical competence as well as of their understanding of the students’ needs. The faculty distinguishes itself by its dedication to the school’s philosophy and its constant search for new contributions to the learning-teaching process.
