The most significant impact on student learning is the quality of the teaching they experience - great teachers develop great learners. We are looking for colleagues with an outstanding record of achievement, who are passionate about not only student learning, but also their own. 

 

Our definition of learning commits us to focus on the whole child - where the development of character is equally as important as that of conceptual understanding and competencies. 

 

We are looking for a highly motivated, team-oriented, educator who can contribute to the ongoing development of the German programme and to the whole school community. You have a growth mindset and are committed to ongoing professional growth. You want to work in a fast paced, dynamic international setting.
