Two French teachers are needed as the full-time French teachers will both be

the French program which is a 5 year program-French 1, 2, 3, 4, and AP. Any
certified French teacher who is a Christian will be considered. The
candidate must be willing to raise their own support as RVA is a ministry of
Africa Inland Mission (Visit www.aimint.org and www.rva.org for more

students being highly motivated to learn and class sizes being small

Nouveau" texts by McDougal Littell. AP experience is preferred for at least
one teacher. This is an amazing opportunity for a one-year experience in
Africa in which you get to meet missionaries from all over north and east
Africa and minister to them by teaching their children.
