what sets
ELIC apart
Our history of excellence in education opens doors of miraculous opportunity.
Long term partnerships
We have provided university teaching teams for nearly 40 years. We work to find the best people, provide excellent training, and continue to invest in their growth so they will want to stay and build their careers overseas.
Many of our university partnerships span more than 20 and 30 years. Our partners are committed to providing living and teaching environments that are fulfilling and sustainable.
Professional excellence
We are known around the world for excellence in recruitment, screening, training, and ongoing professional development.
Teacher care
We’re serious about our commitment to care for our teachers! We provide hands-on support throughout all stages of their journey: pre-field training, teaching support, professional development training, ongoing member care, in-country leadership support, and debriefing when our teachers return home. Our current teachers love to talk about “the ELIC family.”
We strategically go places where others cannot go.
everyone joins a
team
ELIC recognizes the importance of community and having a positive team that you can rely on. Our teams are a vital part of what will make your life overseas successful.
We create amazing teams of people who, like you, desire to live and work alongside one another, serving university students, refugees, community members, and others. In many places, there might be more than one team in a city. Together, they work with passion and excellence to build meaningful relationships with their students, colleagues, and neighbors.

A bachelor’s degree in any field

Pursue your
master’s
Through our partners, you can receive over 50% off your master’s degree while serving overseas with ELIC!

our commitment to
care
While you serve others, we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
Excellent member care is a distinctive priority within ELIC. Physically, spiritually, and emotionally healthy teachers are best able to teach and function well within their teams. Personal and professional accountability to healthy standards is also important for sustainability in places that are difficult to access and live.
ELIC commits to providing exceptional educators as well as caring for every member of our organization. High-quality organizational support through cultural training, comprehensive medical insurance, and personal care can alleviate some of the challenges specific to living cross-culturally. Our member care structure enables teachers to be culturally-integrated in their communities and well-adjusted members of their teaching teams.
