Loan Payment Details
Based on the position availability, a teacher who earns certification through this program will be assigned a job with SANY.
Completion of a degree is not a guarantee of a lead teaching position.
Co-teaching counts towards years “forgiven.”
After the program is completed, as long as the teacher is employed by SANY Schools, the loan will be forgiven based on the following schedule:
Year | Amount Forgiven |
|---|---|
1st Year
| 15% |
2nd Year
| 15% |
3rd Year | 20% |
4th Year | 20% |
5th Year | 30% |
If the teacher leaves SANY Schools or is dismissed due to violation of responsibilities described in the contract including teaching performance, teacher will be responsible to pay the unforgiven loan amount to SANY.
