Internships Study Abroad in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, Beijing, China and Auckland, New Zealand

Interns at Salibury University have an opportunity to teach in 3 of the most prestigious schools in the world. Each school has unique features and will provide the interns with an enriching, life-changing educational opportunity. No one is better than another; each one offers the top of the line instruction using the most effective teaching strategies. All three schools provide the children with opportunities to develop self-respect and independence while engaging in investigation and exploration.

Internships in St. Croix, the Virgin Islands:
Each spring and fall 2 interns will be able to spend one of their SU internships on the island of St. Croix. This U.S. Territory will host our SU interns at the Good Hope School. The school offers best practices in early childhood and elementary education, featuring student-centered learning that occurs both inside and outside the classroom. In order to maximize the experiences of the interns while in St. Croix, they will stay with a host family who is connected with the school. For more information, contact Dr. Laura Marasco at llmarasco@salisbury.edu.

Internships in Beijing, China:
Each spring 4 or 5 of our SU interns will be able to intern at the international school in Beijing, China. This English-speaking school hosts children from 54 countries and is one of the top 10 International Baccealaureate Schools (IBO) in the world. Inquiry learning is the main mode of teaching. The teachers in the school will help interns learn how to navigate in Beijing and show them many of the amazing historical sites. Interns will share an apartment near the school. For more information, contact Dr. Patricia Dean at pkdean@salisbury.edu.

Internships in Auckland, New Zealand:
In both the fall and spring semesters, interns will be able to intern in schools in Auckland, NZ. Summer internships are also available, but the 100 days required in MD still applies; the remaining time of the internship will be completed in MD schools either before or after the summer experience. One of the many strengths of the NZ schools is their focus and successes in literacy. The homestay with a host family during the internship will provide meals and transportation throughout the duration of the stay. For more information, contact Dr. Ernie Bond at elbond@salisbury.edu.
