Teacher Opportunities
Travel The World With CIEE!
There's nothing like a study abroad trip to reconnect with the topic or language you teach all year long.
With CIEE, teachers can travel too! We offer 3 specific opportunities.
Be A Program Leader
Each summer, we offer paid positions to U.S. high school teachers who want to lead three- or four-week-long summer programs abroad. This is a fantastic opportunity to flex your teaching skills in a new way, build your resume, and travel abroad during your summer break.
Travel with your own students
We take high school students all over the world year-round, but you can also travel with your own class! With 70 years of experience and a global network of offices, CIEE is a unique partner to help you open the world to your students.
Starting at $1,300 per student, we offer prepackaged school trips to 5 exciting locations. Accompanying teachers travel for free!
In just 7 days, our school trips offer students a full immersion in one of 5 amazing international locations, with classes taught by local experts, opportunities to engage with the local community, and exciting activities and excursions. Our team will work with you to adapt to your logistical needs, meet your curricular goals, and inspire your students!

Every year, our study abroad programs transform the lives of hundreds of U.S. high school students, but we need your help to get the word out!
Many students and parents assume that study abroad is just for college! So you can play a critical role to help us raise awareness about high school study abroad programs and scholarships.
If at least 7 students you referred travel on any of our Global Navigator High School Study Abroad Programs (summer abroad, semester abroad, or gap year abroad), you earn a free 4 day trip to observe one of our programs in action in Seville, Spain; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Berlin, Germany; Merida, Mexico; or Rabat, Morocco.
