wondering what "evidence of an evangelical Christian faith commitment might be?
Usually this is just an expectation that the person publicly professes a Christian faith and (generally) adheres to some mainstream evangelical denomination or tradition. In my experience this expectation is pretty loosely held to. Most schools that state this in policy are happy if one isn't drunk in the gutter or pimping wh*res. It's to ensure that prospective new hires are committed to the "spine" of the school's established tradition....not necessarily the "rib" issues.wondering what "evidence of an evangelical Christian faith commitment might be?

Would that not be discrimination of hiring someone based upon faith and illegal in the DR?
As in no Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Pastafarians (or about 100 other faith's members) need apply?
Where is the outrage?
1. Inner city poor or upper class rich- kids will chew you up and spit you out if you don't have your act together.
2. Just because students are upper class and wealthy doesn't mean they are elitist and rude. Of course this happens and I experienced it when I taught in the DR. But in my experience this is the exception not the rule. I experienced kind, considerate, intelligent students who worked very hard and had excellent work ethic. So anyone who is making the assumption that the private international schools are full of spoiled brats actually doesn't know at all.
3. A quality school, regardless of location, will ensure that it's students have important values and morals in relation to their interactions with others and their academics. If you want to assume the private international schools don't bother with this you are wrong, because they do. Obviously public schools can overlook the importance of this as well.
4. There are excellent schools in the DR with excellent foreign and local teachers. They are not full of liberal arts school majors who can't find a job.
5. I can provide salary information from 2014-2015 for several schools (some as recent as 2017) in this thread but will not do so publicly. Send me a PM if you are a TEACHER and I will try to help you out.
Hi, I am new to the forum but don't seem to be able to PM. I am a British qualified teacher, qualified head teacher, with 20 years experience. I was wondering what the salary is liekly to be in the DR, as I've seen a job but they never specify salary!
