BASIS International School Shenzhen is seeking qualified candidates for a Middle School Math!
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!
Our network has continued to grow with BASIS International Schools Park Lane Harbour and Hangzhou opened in 2018, BASIS International School Nanjing in 2019, and our first bilingual school, BASIS Bilingual School Shenzhen, in 2020.

BASIS International Elementary Subject Expert Teachers can focus their teaching on a specific subject rather than preparing lessons for several subjects every day. They work collaboratively with Learning Expert Teachers (LETs) to cultivate a joyful learning culture where hard work is celebrated and where intellectual pursuits result in extraordinary student outcomes. At the elementary level, LETs help you focus on instruction while they ensure individual student understanding according to student needs. As an Engineering Subject Expert Teacher, it is primarily your responsibility to develop engaging, content-rich subject-specific lesson plans and to teach creative thinking and problem-solving.
Elementary Math teachers stimulate and encourage students’ natural curiosity while teaching foundational math concepts. Teachers have the freedom to present and teach the concepts in their way. Basic addition and subtraction turn into practical applications such as making change, the scientific method shows students how everyone uses science in daily life. A teacher’s passion can spark a lifetime of interest and learning, and we encourage our Subject Expert Teachers to allow their enthusiasm for their subject to inspire their students.
Primary Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Prepare subject-specific lessons in Math for Middle School students.
- Provide subject instruction on a higher level than grade standard, in an interactive learning environment, and deliver exceptional results for all students.
- Implement BASIS Curriculum by designing effective and creative lessons and assessments to ensure students' education is at an internationally competitive level.
- Collaborate with other BASIS International teachers to form a community of smart, talented, and interesting people who are passionate about education and readily willing to work in a professional, academic environment.
- Tutor students in content-specific knowledge and skills to heighten the trajectory of students’ academic and career success.
- Manage student behavior to foster academic achievement, personal responsibility, intellect, and individuality in all students.
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.
