I am taking a year off after receiving my BA and want to gain teaching experience. I can't be a sub b/c I need to work full time for the benefits. Also, I'm going back to school next year so I don't have time to get a certificate and then teach. Can I still work full time as a private school teacher?

Yes, that is true. However, some private schools will want you to have it anyway.

Private School Teacher Certification

Many schools require one, many schools don't. However, make sure that its worth it. Most private school teachers (the ones that don't need a teaching certificate) do not make as much money. Part of the benefits can often be taken out of that salary. For instance, I taught at a small school and the benefits were such that I had to pay $400 out of my already small salary. I had to move to another school district, where I could afford to pay my bills. If you are just doing this for a year, you might want to consider subbing, and then paying for your own health insurance out of pocket, assuming that you are a healthy young person with no previous illnesses that would count against you. The district I am with now (in central california) is in desperate need of subs, and pays $120 a day. I have heard that many districts are desperate, but it all depends on where you are at. I subbed while putting myself through the credentialing program, so it is possible. Check out all of your options!

Depending on your state, where I live in Montana, for their diplomas to be real, I believe their teachers have to be certified. But we also have provisional certification which allows you to teach while working to get you certificate, this maybe something for you to look into, Montana allows you to teach for three years while working towards your certification.
As afar as Subbing I think you might surprised and you might work more than full time if you wanted to, most places are in desperate need of subs. Especially since anymore most places require some kind of schooling to be a sub. I am planning on subbing next fall and I have been told that I will probably work whenever I want.

That depends. What is your degree in? Some private schools require a teaching certificate and some don't . Call the private schools you would like to work in and ask them.

Private schools usually don't require a certificate. One that I was at required a certain percentage of teachers at the school to be certified.
Check it out. Also, some alternative schools (such as a Montessori school) might not always require one.
However, the pay is usually less than at a public school. BUT, the headaches are sometimes fewer, also!

This depends on the state that you live in currently. I know only because I am a certified teacher.

Yes, it's true in most states. I know that for a fact in Md and Va and Pa.

That is a fact (in Texas).
