Click Here for answers to commonly asked questions.

Every year at MCHS we have volunteer teachers who come from all over the world to teach here in Belize. These volunteer teachers are mostly young college graduates who have just completed their degrees, and they make up about half of the teaching staff. The rest of the staff is made up of Belizian teachers, SOLT candidates and the SOLT priests from the mission in Benque Viejo. Subjects are varied and are listed on the Curriculum page.

The school rents houses throughout Benque Viejo where the teachers stay. All staff live in houses of the same sex, and eat together at the rectory. Staff also recieve a weekly stipend of $25 Belize ($12.5 US) which is sufficent to cover the necessities. If you plan on traveling it will be at your own expense. Also it is expected that you cover travel expenses to and from Belize.

You can apply to teach in three different ways:

• By applying online using the Volunteer Teaching Application Form through Formdesk.com.
• By sending in your Curriculum Vitae/Resume via e-mail or the post.
• By saving the Volunteer Application Form (in Word '97 format) and sending it via e-mail or the post to the address at the bottom of the application form.

Send your application through e-mail to mchs@btl.net, make sure you put "Volunteer Application" in the subject line.
