BASIS International School Shenzhen - the founding international school in our global network - is moving to a new campus and expanding to include over 400 more students! Come join our internationally acclaimed program and be a part of this exciting development!
BASIS International teachers are knowledgeable, passionate, and believe in transforming education. As part of a uniquely collaborative and professional teaching community, BASIS International teachers motivate students to reach their highest potential, while also elevating their own skills through peer collaboration and a culture where learning is of the greatest importance. Our Kindergarten classrooms are taught by two teachers--the Learning Expert Teacher (LET) and the Subject Expert Teacher (SET). The LET and SET ECE are required to holistically collaborate in order to provide the optimal classroom experience to the students. They co-plan cross-curricula units of work that integrate all subjects, share all data, participate in professional development together and communicate with parents equally.
In a BASIS International Kindergarten teaching position, you will create a learning environment where learning is a joyful and rewarding experience, and children learn to become enthusiastic, life-long learners. The thematic, hands-on, and content rich curriculum creates a foundation for children to build upon in the elementary grades. Our early education teachers are guided by the belief that any child can excel with the right support.
Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Lay foundations for the joy of learning to set students up for success with the challenging curriculum in the elementary grades.
- Begin helping students develop skills of autonomy, responsibility, and independence.
- Implementation of the BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to display your passion for learning and educating students at an internationally competitive level.
- Management of student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect, and individuality in all students.
- Collaborate with other BASIS International teachers to form a community of smart, talented, and interesting people who are passionate about their work and readily willing to work in a professional, academic environment.
In 2015, Shenzhen was the first BASIS International School to open its doors in China. Opening with 400 students in grades Pre-K - 10th, it has grown to more than 1,000 students in grades Pre-K to 12th, and has numerous wait lists. This success was recognized as the largest first-year opening of an international school in the history of southern China. The school offers top-notch facilities in its classrooms, as well as a soccer field and track, gymnasium, a large library, Apple computer lab, several art and music studios, a theater, cafeteria, and outdoor play space.
BASIS International School Shenzhen has enjoyed numerous academic and athletics successes in its first three years. More than two dozen students qualified for the World Scholars' Cup Global Round in the past two years, and several teams have advanced to its Yale University rounds. The Advanced Placement pass rate surpasses the U.S. national average in more than 10 subject areas. Our swim team has won more than 120 gold and silver medals. And in 2018 we celebrated our first graduate, who is now attending Cornell University's College of Engineering. We are expecting 19 graduates in 2019 and this number will continue to grow.
Located in the expat-friendly suburb of Shekou, there are numerous Western restaurants, grocery stores, IMAX movie theaters with current releases in English, and several shopping opportunities close to the school. Additionally, the area has easy access by car or ferry to Hong Kong and other China cities, such as Macao, Zuhai, and Guangzhou.
