Interns are native Spanish speakers who are 21-29 years old. They are students or recent college graduates. Many already have teaching experience or have worked with youth.
Interns work side by side with our classroom teachers to gain teaching skills, share teaching techniques from their countries, and represent their culture. The interactions among the Interns and students are invaluable! Interns receive a monthly stipend (paid by PTO) to cover the cost of their cell phone, personal care items, and travel/entertainment costs.
Interns have two Host families (one for each semester) and two Support families (assigned for the entire school year). Interns enjoy sharing their culture and the Spanish language with your children, while practicing and improving their English with you!
Interested in becoming a Host or Support family for this year or in the future?
Please email Intern Family Coordinators (Sarah Pouliot, Ally Gish, Jessica Bradley, Jessica Chapman, Toby Breuch) at rsisinterns@gmail.com

They will learn about the importance of teamwork, care, courage, grit, and celebration through lots of fun in-class activities. This all leads up to the main event where the kids will get their groove on during the 35 minute dance party! ALL students get to participate in event day regardless of financial participation.
This is an amazing event that you won't want to miss. Mark you calendars and book a babysitter! It is a great time to mingle with each other, dance our tails off, and raise money to support our school and Intern Program with an impressive silent auction, cash bar, appetizers, and a dance floor with DJ. RSIS families and local businesses donate items for the silent auction. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
