Freeport Mining Schools

Anybody have info on these schools in Peru, beyond that they are attached to a mining company? Anybody have experience working for them or know anything about them? Thanks

The schools are very small - under 25 students. As a result you will be teaching children across a range of grades. The isolated location of the schools means you will need to be able to speak Spanish, although you teach in English. The school is for expat children, with a transient community.

Its a pretty hard job, the school/classes are small, the equivalent of one room school houses. You can pretty much do whatever you want though as far as lesson planing etc. As the previous poster discussed, the absolute rural nature of the assignment be extremely frustrating, your essentially by yourself/family.
