Vietnam | Education and Teaching Ministry

Ukraine | Serving Families of Cross-Cultural Workers in Ukraine

Opportunity Overview:

Kyiv Christian Academy is a PreK-12 school started in 1993 for the children of missionaries in Kyiv, Ukraine. Before the war in Ukraine, 75% of the student body was composed of MKs. Twenty countries were proudly represented in KCA's student body, which made it a truly international school. For quite a few months after the war began, KCA was forced to close their doors, but due to their dedicated local and expat staff and faculty, they were able to reopen, and this year were able to open their jr. high and high school as well. Many families have waited to return to Kyiv until there could be a security-conscious and quality educational option for their kids. We are looking for resilient and dedicated teachers who love to teach, love children, love the nations, and believes God has called them to serve in a re-emerging international school, navigating new challenges.
