Teaching Jobs in Fiji

A remote island chain in Melanesia, Fiji has developed into one of the most popular travel destinations in the South Pacific because of it’s natural beauty, laid-back culture, and relatively high level of development. Yet Fiji continues to stride slowly in the realm of education, where adequate funding and appropriate infrastructure remain chronic obstacles to servicing the entire population effectively. Enter international educators, who are welcomed from all over the world with open arms to help advance this effort while they teach abroad in Fiji!

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Fiji

Locations

Fiji encompasses an archipelago of some 330 islands and over 500 smaller islets in the Melanesian region of the South Pacific. The entire population of the country is roughly 850,000 citizens, and of the 110 inhabited islands, nearly 90% of these inhabitants live on the major islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Other nearby countries include New Zealand, Samoa, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Tuvalu.

Suva, the capital and largest city, is typically the most popular destination where to teach abroad in Fiji. With a diverse metropolitan population nearing 350,000 citizens, Suva also ranks in as the largest city in the entire South Pacific, and is a major hub of cultural, economic, and political activity. Suva’s branch of the South Pacific University is also the largest of any Pacific Island outside Hawaii!

Other destinations where you might look to teach abroad in Fiji include the smaller municipalities of Nadi and Sigatoka, which can offer a more intimate experience of Fijian culture away from the big city. It is also possible to teach abroad in Fiji’s rural areas, where you can live in a much smaller village and and immerse yourself in a way of life that roughly half of the country continues to embrace.

Three weeks volunteering in Siem Reap

I spent three weeks volunteering at Salariin Kampuchea Learning Center in Siem Reap, where I helped teach English to younger students and supported the development of their social media presence. It was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had. Some days were more challenging than others—adapting to a new environment and finding ways to communicate across cultures. But what I’ll carry with me, more than anything, is the deep sense of connection I felt with the people. I can confidently say I’ve grown and learned so much, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for. Living and working within the local community gave me a complete perspective shift. I was struck by their warmth and generosity, and the quiet strength with which they face life. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed. The children, the staff, and my host family made me feel included from the start, making it easy to feel at home throughout my time there
