Program Benefits Include
*A stipend
*Room and board with a Russian family
*Three hours per week of individual Russian lessons taught by trained
native speakers
*Pleasant, well-equipped and well-organized working environment in the
"first American home in Russia"

staff.

health insurance coverage in the U.S. plus emergency medical evacuation coverage.(Limited medical expenses in Russia, with the exception of medications, are covered.) Specific training in teaching English as a foreign language. All the new teachers who have not already received comparable training are required to take an online course from ICAL before their arrival in Vladimir.(TESOL Certification is now required by the Russian government.)
