About the School
Since 1993, the QSI International School of Minsk (ISM) has provided a quality education for preschool through secondary students for the international community in Belarus.
From our first year when we began with fewer than ten students, the school has grown in numbers and reputation, becoming the school of choice for dozens of embassies and businesses in Minsk. ISM, a non-profit organization, works in cooperation with embassies and families from over 38 different countries making it a place of true diversity, where our students learn from one another. All subjects, except for our daily Russian Language classes, are taught in English by certified, qualified teachers.
QSI requires teachers to hold a Bachelor's Degree and Teacher Certification preferably from North America. QSI prefers that the teacher has a minimum of two years teaching experience. QSI hires teachers who love working with children. QSI requires personal interviews. Please go to www.qsi.org to learn more about where QSI will hold interviews. If you have questions about your qualifications please send a CV, certification, and degree to [email protected] for review.
