Teaching in Zambia
Options for teaching in Zambia
Zambia has a number of international schools following British, Canadian, or American curricula, as well as the International Baccalaureate Programs. Qualified teachers in all subjects and grade levels will find ample opportunities to apply for teaching jobs in Zambia.
Teaching English in Zambia is also possible despite the fact that English is the country’s official language. Because many children grow up speaking a different language at home, many do not speak English until they begin school.

Teach Away Placement Coordinators will help coordinate between schools and teachers in order to facilitate the visa process. However, it is the teacher’s responsibility to ensure that all application documents are submitted correctly.
Living in Zambia
Housing in Zambia
Most international schools will provide furnished accommodation for teachers. In addition, many volunteer programs will offer shared housing in order to offset living costs for educators.
Things to do in Zambia
Most teachers will live in Lusaka, the capital and largest city. Though not a sightseeing destination, Lusaka has a thriving nightlife with lively restaurants and bars and plenty of live music. It is also home to a popular wildlife sanctuary, where visitors can see wild animals and relax in the lovely botanical gardens.
When teachers are able to enjoy longer stretches of vacation time, though, they are encouraged to leave the city for Zambia’s famous wilderness. The spectacular Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world, sits at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe and are a must-visit for intrepid travelers. Safaris are also becoming popular, and offer isolated getaways where few people have ever set foot previously. Because the tourism industry is not well developed, getting around can be challenging, but the remoteness makes for a more rewarding experience for adventurers.
