| Comfortable, furnished housing
is provided for overseas-hire teachers and utilities paid by the school.
Housing provided by LCS is assumed to be adequate to meet the teacher’s needs as identified at the time of hiring (e.g. single teacher, teaching couple, couple with children, etc). The same assumption applies to the payment of utility bills: the school agrees at the time of entering a contract with a teacher, to cover the reasonable utilities for that teacher or family. Changes in these circumstances will normally result in the teacher contributing to any increase in expenses.
It is recognized that the housing in which an employee lives has an effect on the staff member’s ability to focus on educational duties at LCS. Although no plan for allocation of desirable housing units can be perfect, the following plan is designed so that employees will understand how housing is allocated and so that the process will be perceived as equitable as possible; given market conditions in Accra.
In general allocation will be based on the following guidelines:
Single Teacher 2- Bedroom apartment
Couples (no children) 2/3- Bedroom apartment / house
Couples (with Children) 3/4 Bedroom apartment /house
