UPP is preparing for the arrival of close to 30 teachers in mid-August. They represent the culmination of an extensive, worldwide recruitment effort spearheaded by AMIDEAST to identify and retain a diverse complement of qualified, committed educators to deliver the UPP curriculum.

Selected from among a pool of hundreds of applicants, all UPP teachers are native speakers of English, hold master’s degrees in their teaching areas, and have extensive classroom experience. Their areas of expertise include English as a foreign language, math, biology, chemistry, physics, computer skills, and academic study skills.

An upcoming two-week orientation will provide the opportunity for the faculty to become familiar with the UPP curriculum—recently developed by curriculum consultants expert in their respective fields—and to work together for its smooth implementation. UPP faculty and administration alike are eager to launch this innovative program that seeks to instill in students the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in competitive university environments.
