After 13 years in business, it became apparent that the teacher shortage challenges facing communities overseas, were now impacting students and families here at home. In 2019, Klassroom was founded to continue to connect students with life-changing teachers, and help those teachers live their dreams right in their hometown.There is no one, single solution to the teacher shortage crisis we’re facing. That’s why Klassroom offers both unique pathways to a rewarding careers for teachers, as well as world-class recruitment and hiring solutions for schools. Today, through our Teach Away and Klassroom brands, we partner with world class education providers, such as Johns Hopkins University, to train educators worldwide through the development of comprehensive, evidence-based learning programs.
