teaching is valued, growth is real, and life

outside the classroom feels like a breath

High-Quality Education

At AST, teaching is purposeful, not chaotic. Our structured, high-quality curriculum gives you the

clarity to focus on what matters most - causing learning. With strong frameworks already in place,

your energy goes into helping students grow, not writing lesson plans from scratch.

We believe in the power of teaching done well. Our teachers lead the classroom with confidence,

high expectations, and shared pedagogical practices that bring learning to life. Students think,

write, and do in every lesson - and it’s your expertise that makes that happen.

about where we’re going. If you care about growing as a teacher and making a meaningful impact,

you’ll feel right at home in our collaborative, improvement-focused culture.

Africa. With coastlines, culture, and calm, it offers a lifestyle that’s easy to enjoy and a community

that’s easy to join. Whether you're into hiking, exploring, or just slowing the pace down, you’ll find

your rhythm here.
