Charter Schools

The first question that a charter school should answer is: "Does our salary schedule meet the minimum standards set by the U.S. Department of Labor as prevailing wages in the area?" Understandably, the U.S. government may only allow foreign workers, such as teachers to come to the United States, if no American is unduly replaced due to unfair labor competition such as lower salaries. Each area has a prevailing wage as dictated by the Department of Labor. Let our lawyer answer that question for you. Contact our immigration lawyer.

After receiving a positive reply on having met the U.S. standards on prevailing wages, you may want to read the advantages of hiring Filipino teachers. The most frequently asked questions are likewise answered on the General Information link.

PAIR envisions that should your charter school need at least five (5) teachers, the most efficient matching option will be the international recruitment trip. If you have less than five (5) teaching positions to fill up, it may not be cost efficient for all stakeholders to undertake an international recruiting trip. There are other matching options available though.

Remember: if you declare that you have at least five (5) teaching positions available, PAIR will never ask you to guarantee to hire at least five (5) teachers. Your satisfaction and standards are always first and foremost in our minds. The hiring of the best teachers for the students you serve is of paramount importance. However, we are confident that with the quality of the teacher-applicants in our pool, you will be able to fill in your needs without us demanding that you hire at least five (5) teachers. Quality shall speak for itself.

PAIR has preferred timelines for conducting international recruiting. However, adjustments to the timeline may easily be made subject to the concurrence of both parties.

Please feel free to e-mail: Director@philippineteachers.com so that a company representative may contact you, discuss your charter school needs and prepare a draft working arrangement.

There is simply one focal point of discussion: "What are your critical areas of teacher shortages that you encounter just about every schoolyear?" After answering that question, let PAIR do all the work for your charter school.
