- Mongolia
About Program
Teaching in Mongolia is an opportunity for licensed educators to teach overseas in a country that boasts a rugged landscape and a fascinating culture rooted in ancient traditions. Teaching English in Mongolia is becoming increasingly common, as the demand for English education is rising sharply.
Though there are teaching jobs around Mongolia, the vast majority of positions are found in the capital of Ulaanbaatar. The city is accustomed to tourists, and is finding English increasingly in demand, resulting in a continuing push for English language classes.
One of the world’s least densely populated countries, Mongolia is sometimes called the “Land of Blue Skies” for its many sunny days and vast, open skies. Mongolia is ideal for those seeking natural beauty and a good dose of adventure. One of the few nations where nomadic living is still common, Mongolia is home to friendly citizens who welcome visitors warmly.

The first private school in the country - Hobby School was founded in 1994, to educate the next generation of Mongolian intelligentsia, against a backdrop of tough economic conditions, a rapidly growing urban population, and a crumbling public education system. The school's name, despite lending an aura of leisure, is deeply meaningful. The inspiration for the school followed Eurasian Hobby (Falco Subbuteo). Falcons are revered by Mongolians as symbols of courage and vigor.
