For Secondary School Teacher?

Becoming a teacher in a secondary school usually requires earning a bachelor's degree in secondary education or in a teachable subject like biology. To teach in public schools, a state teaching license or certification is required.

Why do you want to teach secondary school?

Just like with any teaching job, being a secondary school teacher is a highly rewarding and enjoyable job. Not only is every day very different to the next, but you will be working closely with children who are at an age where they are developing their skills and personalities.

What age do secondary teachers teach?

Secondary teachers help young adults succeed in school, work and life. Depending on the school district you teach in, you can teach kids in grades 6 through 12, so from age 12 to 18. The age you teach depends on the group you relate to most.
