Cultural Exchange Teacher Program (J-1)
i-RISE USA has partnered with HRC International, another Department of State designated Visa Sponsor, for their J-1 Cultural Exchange Teachers. This is a unique program that provides experienced foreign educators the opportunity to explore a new educational and cultural environment through full-time teaching positions in the United States. Participants are able to gain exposure to American teaching methods while host schools open doors to fresh perspectives and valuable viewpoints in U.S. classrooms.
Students gain valuable perspective and are exposed to different viewpoints which allow them to broaden their own perceptions, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges of our changing world. Because HRC believes all students should benefit by having the opportunity to learn from an international educator, they are able to provide services to all types of schools; public, private, charter or independent.
