Lutheran Academy in Martin, Slovakia, offers a K-12 education. We wish to provide a Christian-based formation to the pupils in a post-communist country that has undergone major political and social changes in recent decades. Form once a “red part of the world´s map” we now aim to establish ourselves as a relevant part of the European Union and western hemisphere community.
During its brief yet exciting 15 year history the Lutheran Academy has grown from one small classroom to a fully developed campus that currently educates more than 700 students, age 3-19. The study program is bilingual, thus the need for native speakers teaching ESL and various high school subjects in English is always welcome.
Currently the staff of the school consists of almost 70+ Slovak teachers, two American, one British and one German teacher. The High school focuses on STEM and human sciences, with the vision of our graduates continuing at college level in English speaking environment. The school provides afterschool programs targeted at music, theater and sports and with the help of American volunteers runs summer camps for all age levels.
The school campus is located downtown city Martin, right on the pedestrian zone. The school shares its grounds with a lay leadership training Center for Christian Education and neighbors the Lutheran church. The population of Martin is ca. 60K, with plenty options of cafes, restaurants, shopping and culture institutions, including medical faculty with substantial international community. The city is surrounded by forested mountains, with plenty opportunities for leisureand outside activities and for both summer and winter sports. Four central European state capitals are within easy reach (Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, Vienna).
The history and culture of the central European region is very rich. If you dare to make the leap of faith to join in teaching the children and young adults, whose parents still grew up under communism, join the young team of excited teachers who wish to share their talents in providing a high quality academic education and Christian fellowship with their students and wider community.
