Teacher wanted for a small educational project

We are a few parents who are looking to hire a teacher who is involved in Krishnamurti related education and teachings, to teach our kids of 8 - 10 years of age. It is understood Krishnamurti's intention of education is to be free of any specific method or system.

We live in Mallorca, in Spain. We are offering a whole year salary and living space.

The Situation:

There are 4 children at the moment, but we are expecting two more. The house where the kids will be taught is in a small village called SENCELLES. The village is 20 minutes from PALMA (the city) and there is a bus service. It is a beautiful and quiet area, with lots of green fields around.

The main teaching area is on the ground floor of the main house connected to the kitchen and to a patio and garden with orange tree, etc. There is a studio with good views that can be used for physical activities, and outside the property there are lots of fields and parks.

The children speak English to various degrees, and it is wished that English be the medium of education. All the parents speak English.

From Naima, a parent

"We just want our kids to learn in a friendly and natural environment. I want my child to learn and be .... without any imposed ideas ......allowing her to be a child without struggle so that she can discover her passions and just be and do what she loves....by living from the heart, instead of being led by the abstract or the mind. Children have natural curiosity, ,towards many things....that is where Ks teachings are valuable, to be able to explain and help the child explore in his or her wondering, to find out the true meaning of things …. following the steam of Krishnamurti's intention for education. I feel this way my child will, as she grows up, be able to know who she is truly, (the true self, that is beyond any concept .... and not separated from any thing... to understand the totality), and in being so, she will be a responsible human being, respecting the world the way it is..."

We would hope for a commitment from the teacher for at least one year, initially. Upstairs of the teaching area is a furnished apartment for their use. It would in fact be large enough for two people.
