Think Christian, Excellence, International, think RFIS
Serve With Us
Rain Forest teachers come from many countries and backgrounds. The majority of our teachers are with a mission organization and raise their own financial support through partnership development.
Rain Forest International School, located in Yaoundé, Cameroon serves students in grades 6-12. When it began in 1991, its purpose was to provide missionaries serving in this part of Africa with an excellent academic program for their children. Today, however, RFIS serves a broader community including international missionary families, Cameroonians and the international business community. RFIS offers an academic, social, athletic and spiritual environment that prepares students for their next stage of life. We are looking for potential staff with a passion to transform lives who possess professional skills and are willing to develop financial partners for their ministry. For more information, please email the Director at rfis-director@rfis.org.
