This study explored the identity of five expatriate professors at a Christian graduate school in the Philippines and the factors that influenced their teacher identity formation. The participants’ narratives of personal, professional, and cross-cultural experiences were analyzed based on Poole’s (2020) international school teacher identity framework. Data were collected over a period of nine months through semi-structured interviews and repeated follow-up Zoom meetings and email correspondence. The findings demonstrated that the participants enjoyed being educators, a profession in which they identified themselves as facilitators who guided the academic journeys of students, contributors who created positive learning atmospheres and developed leaders, ethical role models, missionaries, and learners of different cultures and areas of study. Their childhood experiences in Christian schools, significant figures, intercultural experiences, and Christian faith were factors that affected how they shaped their teacher identities.
