Inspire the Children Who Will Transform Tomorrow
We are looking for educators who do more than teach lessons: educators who write a new story together with nature, curiosity and children.
Serpil Orman Okulları is a lively learning community nourished by nature, from early years through middle school. Here, teachers are not squeezed into moulds; they design the learning journey shoulder to shoulder with children and colleagues. They see for themselves that their work does not stay on paper but turns into real change in children’s world.
If you, too, imagine education with this belief and enthusiasm, let’s meet.
At SOOBeing an Educator
An Innovative, Free Environment for Sharing
Be part of an ecosystem where you can design new learning methods, develop projects inspired by nature and bring your ideas to life freely.
A Team That Keeps Growing and Learns from One Another
Walk side by side with educators who are passionate about education and nature and bring different experience and expertise; create together and learn from one another.
Wall-free Classrooms in the Heart of Nature
Take education beyond four walls. Use our warm home, built from stone from Göreme, and the vast forest as “living classrooms”.
Discovering Every Child’s Uniqueness
Thanks to our small, boutique classes, you have the chance to observe children’s interests and abilities closely and to guide them in depth on their individual journeys and in unlocking their potential.
Growing with a Vision That Heals the World
While leading work that strengthens a sense of responsibility towards both nature and society, transform your own approach and vision as an educator.
Internship Programme
We invite university students, recent graduates and candidates aged 20 and over who want to experience nature-based education first-hand to join our internship programme.
In the programme, you observe children’s learning processes alongside our educators and contribute to preparing and running nature-, play- and making-focused activities. You get to know our approach, which takes children’s individual needs into account, and take part in work that supports sustainability, collaboration and creative thinking. You develop your professional skills, share your ideas and contribute to our learning community.
Programme calendar: Applications are accepted for the August–December and January–June periods. The duration and terms of participation are clarified during the application process.
