About Our School

Chuuk Seventh-day Adventist School is located on the island of Weno (the main island) in Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia, in the beautiful Pacific region. The school serves students from Pre-K through 12th grade (with current enrollment around 200–220 students overall). The middle school (grades 5–8) has approximately 80–100 students.

What makes our school unique is its long history—established over 43 years ago in 1980—and its commitment to holistic Christian education in a nurturing, close-knit island community. We emphasize spiritual growth, quality academics using an American curriculum, healthy lifestyle principles, and service to others, while offering a supportive environment where teachers often live on or near campus and become integral parts of the local Chuukese culture and church family.

Role Description

This full-time position involves teaching one of the core Middle School Subjects choosing between Bible, English/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and health/PE (with flexibility to combine or specialize based on strengths and school needs). The teacher will work with one or more grade levels in a multi-grade or self-contained classroom setting. Approximate class sizes are 15–25 students per grade/group. The position is full-time, following the school year calendar (typically August to late May).

• No minimum years of teaching experience required—new graduates and experienced teachers are both encouraged to apply.
• International applicants from all over the world are warmly welcome. Applicants must be committed to Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and lifestyle, willing to adapt to island living, and eligible for necessary work/visa arrangements in the Federated States of Micronesia.

Additional Information

We are looking for candidates who are patient, flexible, culturally sensitive, enthusiastic about mission service, collaborative team players, and passionate about nurturing both academic and spiritual growth in young adolescents.
