Questions related to the challenges and prospects encountered by the private integrated school teachers, and subjects, were prepared by the researcher. The research findings indicated that private integrated school teachers had a hard time adjusting to the new normal; learners' performances were affected for there was no interactive learning during the school year Covid - 19 also caused some of the learners to drop from school or transfer to public schools. Private Integrated school teachers' salaries were unavoidably deducted and delayed due to the low number of enrollees.
