During these twenty-six years, we have been delighted to have the North Americans, English, Nigerian and Irish teachers as part of the faculty, and getting better at receiving them in a culturally foreign environment. We look for candidates who are passionate about teaching and outstanding in their field, be it Literature, Language, Social Studies, or Science. This year we have graduates from, Georgia University, University of Arizona, Florida State University, Queens College, University of Minnesota; University of Leicester, University College Dublin, University College London, University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, Boston College, Colorado State University, Lakehead University, and National University of Ireland, Galway.

Despite of the two-year contracts that the school offers, many of our teachers decide to stay at Nogales for more years, like David West, who has been with us for nine years. Some of them come back: Michael Kennedy, English teacher taught for four years, went back home, came back and stayed with us for two more years. Matthew Fishbane, English teacher and Head of the Department, was with us four years, taught in other countries and came back for three more years and Tammy Dobrzynski, English teacher came back after teaching in Europe for seven years, was Head of the English Department for several years and now teaches the AP English Language course. 

The teachers who come to Nogales are attracted by the opportunity to teach in an academic environment of excellence where they are encouraged to be demanding, by the strong commitment to values and by the emphasis on the individual. They also like the beautiful campus and enjoy the state-of-the-art facilities. They appreciate the immersion in the Colombian environment where they learn about the love to the country while practicing their Spanish. Finally, they come to learn about another culture, to travel around South America, and to have a great time.
