What to Expect || J1 Teachers Salary in SC 

Most welcome :)

It really depends on the school district and state.

I'm sorry I don't give my personal details away here on RU-vid, but the driver's license is a NEED, especially here in SC. So, it would be best if you get yours.

No. J1 teachers don't need to take the PRAXIS

Hello. I’m not quite sure what you mean with “guidelines”. May you be more specific?

@@TeacherYan_iaVember The first thing I want to ask is about the salary. I have 12 years of experience, and my employer has told me that I will get a 40k USD yearly salary. Is this a good salary for a J1 visa teacher in South Carolina? Secondly, I have to upload a Home School Letter - Cultural Activity along with my other documents on Intrax. I don't understand this letter. Am I going to write this letter for myself or my previous school has to write this letter for me? Kindly guide me in these 2 matters, I'll be really grateful to you.

The salary is on the lower end since, I’m presuming, it’s a private school? For the cultural activity, we do that yearly while in the J1 program and our visa sponsor provides us with the template. Are they asking you this before hiring you?

@TeacherYan_iaVember she shared with me the list of documents that I have to upload on Intrax. She is also having the J1 visa program for the first time, so she shared the msgs of Intrax to me as she received.

@TeacherYan_iaVember Home School Letter - Cultural Activity: in order to be eligible for the J-1 teacher visa, the candidate must provide a letter from a school outside of the United States confirming their willingness to participate in the cross-cultural component of the program. The cross-cultural component is a mandatory part of the J-1 teacher program, and we must collect annual reports from the teacher for each school year. The cultural exchange must take place between the host school (in the U.S) and the 'home-school' (in home country). It can be either the school where the candidate is currently working, or any school outside of the U.S with the same education level as your school (primary vs secondary). Typically, the letter from the school outside of the United State will include something like this: ''This letter confirms that SCHOOL XYZ agrees/is pleased to participate in the cross-cultural exchange/activities with TEACHER'S NAME AND HOST SCHOOL while she/he is participating in the J-1 teacher exchange program. It will be a rewarding experience for students in our school to share stories with students in the United States and mutually learn from each other. We look forward to this cultural exchange, etc..' . These are the details mentioned in the email.
