Job Description:

Our bilingual program is located in two state-owned schools in Prague, Czech Republic. Our program offers children the opportunity to learn Czech and English simultaneously.

Each class has two teachers, a Czech and an English teacher, who collaborate together to provide the students with a consistent environment where both languages can flourish.

Toscool organization is seeking qualified elementary teachers who are interested in joining our bilingual elementary schools. Teachers must have a BA or MA in Elementary Education, a sound understanding of elementary curriculum, and exceptional classroom management and organizational skills. We prefer teachers who have a minimum of two years experience as classroom teachers in Grades 1-5 (stages K1-K5).

Our school offers a creative and young environment where we provide opportunites for you to grow as an educator. Working hours are from 8-15:30, with a maximum of 22 direct teaching hours per week.
