TMS has the great pleasure of working with Education Partners International (EPI), for the past several years, providing strategic advice and introductions to School Board Members and senior staff. EPI recruits and places the world’s best international teachers in K-12 public, independent, and charter schools in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Florida. Capably run by sisters Jenna and Jacqueline Gulla, EPI offers students cultural exchange opportunities by partnering with school districts to provide international teachers. Jenna, Jacqueline and their colleagues mentor, monitor and stay involved throughout each teacher’s 5-year engagement. EPI is thrilled to sign a contract with the Palm Beach County School District, adding this district to Orange, Osceola, Okeechobee, Polk, Nassau and Duval Counties. EPI is an Exchange Visitor Program authorized to sponsor J-1 Visa approved teachers under the Fulbright–Hays Act of 1961. EPI teachers are fully vetted, meet all teaching requirements, and receive 24/7 personal and professional support. EPI is dedicated to improving cultural awareness and mutual understanding and preparing students to be competitive in our global economy.
