Internship teachers in Ghana focus mainly on teaching English to local children in primary, middle or high schools. If you are skilled, you can teach math, science, or other subjects in Ghana . If you are a qualified teacher or have teaching experience, you can lead a class but mostly interns will be working as an assistant teacher. Most classrooms are crowded and the number of students ranges from 20-60 in each class. All schools of Ghana follow a set English curriculum, so interns will teach straight from the textbook. The school headmaster provides teaching resources. You may come prepared with storybooks or any other teaching materials you think you might need. School children in Ghana are very enthusiastic and eager learners of English. Although most of people speak English in Ghana , there are many issues with correct grammar and challenges with pronunciation, so your native speaker background will help many children change for the better.

IFRE manages living accommodations, provides meals and supervision for interns for the entirety of their stay in Ghana . We offer a “ homebase ” in Ghana . Our homebase is about an hour drive from Accra . We try to create a “home away from home” for interns staying at our homebase. It is a perfect situation for interns to live safely and comfortably while making many new friends and sharing experience every day. Most of interns project in Ghana are located within 1-20 KM of our homebase so you may walk or ride a local bus to your project. In the evening when you return to homebase, you can relax, eat dinner, explore local areas or simply share experience with internship comrades.

Occasionally if a project is located far from the IFRE homebase or when our homebase is fully occupied with interns, we will place interns with host families. Our host families are carefully screened, socially respected and experienced with hosting international interns. Wherever you stay, your accommodation with IFRE is safe, clean and comfortable. In most cases, you will share a room with interns (of same gender). In Ghana , our field staff is an experienced team comprising of country coordinators, assistant coordinators, managers, cooks and field assistants. Our field staff visits interns regularly and always happy to help our interns in any way needed. We offer 3 meals a day of local cuisine. Typically, interns eat breakfast and dinner at the homebase (or host family) and have lunch at their project. We offer fresh, nutritious and safe local foods to our interns to eat. We also work extremely hard to maintain our facilities in a positive condition
