Program Overview
The school is also in midst of developing a Teacher Exchange Program.
Since we believe that “learning never stops and the education is an on
going process”, strong emphasis is laid upon staff and faculty
development programs. Through this international teaching opportunity,
we endeavor to expose our faculty and senior management (as well as
those of the institution participating in the exchange) to the changing
and developing international educational scenario.
We invite experienced teachers from our partner schools or other
reputable schools outside of India, to come and teach at our school for
a period of weeks or months. In exchange, we expect to be able to send
one of our teachers to the school of our visitor for a similar period of
time.
It is Neerja Modi School’s aim to host at least two foreign exchange
teachers per year, during either of the two semesters (July – November;
January – April).

school and the visiting 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 respective colleagues.
- To add an international dimension to
our education system thus enabling our students to become global
citizens and also to help them in future as they seek admission to
foreign colleges and universities.
- To facilitate long lasting
partnerships between NMS and international schools of repute.

Program Details
- Working Requisites
Our school has students from grade K-12 and classes are taught
exclusively in English. Interested candidates have the choice of
selecting the grade level they would like to teach. The following link
provides curriculum details for each of the above-listed subjects and
grade levels.
Every week the visiting teacher is expected to devote 6 hours per
working day to our school (Monday- Saturday). During the stay, the
visiting teachers shall provide lessons/teaching sessions to the
students of NMS and in this they shall have full freedom of choice of
methods, techniques and manner of teaching/instructions. During the stay
of the visiting teachers, our school shall provide proper working
space/room to perform their work and the school shall cater to all the
miscellaneous needs of the teachers.
NMS expects the visiting teachers to have commitment towards the job.
Visiting teachers shall not collaborate or coordinate with any other
school of Jaipur during their stay with NMS, without prior permission.
The written intimation of the visit of the teachers and their schedule
has to be sent to NMS well in advance so that we can adequately arrange
for all the requirements of the visiting teachers.
- Duration of stay
The duration of stay for this international teaching experience has been
kept flexible to suit the individual requirements of the participating
teachers. Ideally, visiting teachers will stay for a minimum of two
weeks and their host institution will be responsible for hosting one of
our teachers (under similar terms and conditions) for a comparable
period.
- Compensation
NMS will not provide applicants with a salary but it is our hope that
the home institution will continue to pay their teachers while they are
with us. Neerja Modi School shall arrange and take care of airport pick
up/drop off, transportation to and from school, lodging in Jaipur and
all meals taken at the school and place of lodging.
- Special Provisions
As a special gesture, The Neerja Modi School will fully support and
sponsor any particular interest of the visiting teacher- such as
learning any music instrument, yoga, any Indian language, etc. These
interests are just illustrative and do not restrict the choice of
visiting teachers to pursue any particular interest or activity of
his/her choice.
After the successful completion of the 30 working days the visiting
teaches shall be provided with a complimentary tour of Jaipur or Agra
(home to the magnificent and famous the Taj Mahal). The tour shall
include transportation to the sight, hotel stay, and all sight seeing/
tourist attractions. Know more about Jaipur.
