We offer unpaid internships in our elementary and secondary school as well as in kindergarten and administration. Internships ideally last five months, including holidays and school breaks. We kindly ask you to refrain from applying for internships lasting shorter than three months. (This minimum duration does not apply to internships in administration.)

Internships in our elementary and secondary school programs are limited to students who are enrolled at a university in a teacher education program at the time of the internship.

2026/2027 school year: Administration internship available for February–May 2027. All other placements are filled.

2027/2028 school year: Applications are currently being accepted (details below).

School Year and Breaks
Our school year runs approximately from September to June. The second term starts in February. We have one week of fall break, two weeks of Christmas break, and two weeks of March break. We do not offer any internships during our summer break. 

Internships in the Administration
We offer unpaid office internships in the departments of office administration, finances, and marketing.

Expectations
Interns are expected to be present during school hours (Mon-Fri, 7:45 am - 1:15 pm) with a minimum of 20 school periods per week. For more detailed information about our internships, please carefully review our information package. Please apply only if you have read the information package and agree to its contents.  

Benefits
Interns will gain hands-on experience in a small school with small class sizes and a close-knit welcoming community. This setting allows for meaningful interactions and close bonds with students and staff. Interns will work closely with experienced educators, receive one-on-one mentorship, and build professional networks.
