Program Overview
Neerja Modi School invites experienced teachers, as well as students from reputed universities with an interest in teaching to come to our school for a minimum period of three weeks to teach our students using the methods and techniques in practice at international schools in their country.

This is not an exchange and visiting teachers and their home institutions will not be expected to host a NMS teacher.

Neerja Modi School is happy to work with student applicants to design a program that will qualify as a for-credit or not-for credit internship at your home institution. Due to India’s academic calendar, students interested in a summer internship can come and teach at our school for the months of July and August.

It is Neerja Modi School’s aim to host at least two foreign teachers per year, during either of the two semesters (July – November; January – April).

Program Objectives

• To provide NMS faculty and the visiting teacher/student-teacher with an opportunity to compare and learn about different education systems, to exchange ideas and knowledge, and to contribute to the professional development of themselves and their home institutions.
