ADMISSIONS POLICIES
NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY: Teach for the Philippines is committed to a policy of equal treatment and opportunity in every aspect of its relations with its applicants, batch members, and staff members, without regard to race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, marital status, military status, pregnancy, or parenthood.
DEFERRALS: Accepted applicants may submit a request for a one-year deferral. Members of the selection committee will review and evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis. Though uncommon, deferrals are typically granted for accepted applicants who have serious family emergencies or have offers to pursue singular one-year opportunities that cannot be deferred. Candidates granted deferrals are recommended for acceptance for the following year, but are not guaranteed the same assignment they were offered in the year they originally applied.
CRIMINAL RECORDS/PROCEEDINGS: Accepted participants are expected to submit to any background checks required by their school districts, Teach for the Philippines, and other relevant government agencies. In line with its Child Protection Policy, Teach for the Philippines reserves the right to deny admission to or dismiss any potential applicant who has been involved in a criminal proceeding other than a minor traffic violation, regardless of the outcome. This includes criminal matters that were handled by a juvenile court and final determinations that are under seal or otherwise expunged from the public record. In addition, Teach for the Philippines reserves the right to inform the Department of Education in which the participant is teaching or planning to teach of the member’s conviction records or ongoing involvement in criminal proceedings. If, through background checks conducted or commissioned by a school district or by Teach for the Philippines, it is found that there is a charge against a selected applicant other than a minor traffic violation, and the selected applicant did not disclose it in the application, this may be treated as falsification or misrepresentation, which are grounds for dismissal from the batch. If a background check conducted or reviewed by Teach for the Philippines yields a criminal record that would preclude a participant from service, the participant will be notified of the finding, and have the opportunity to review and challenge the factual accuracy of the record before action is taken to exclude the participant from the position. In such cases, details on the process for obtaining and challenging the results of the background check will be included in the notification of findings.
FALSIFICATION/MISREPRESENTATION: Falsification or misrepresentation of any sort on the application or supporting materials is grounds for non-admission or dismissal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Teach for the Philippines may require additional information from applicants before determining whether to invite them to a phone and/or final interview. Teach for the Philippines reserves the right to collect information from applicants at a later date and use this information in admissions decisions.
FEEDBACK: We are unable to provide individual feedback about admissions decisions to applicants who are not accepted at any stage of the application process given the volume of applications Teach for the Philippines receives.
RE-APPLICATION: Candidates may only apply to Teach for the Philippines once during an admissions year but are welcome to re-apply during subsequent admissions years.
