Key Stage 1 & 2 Teacher

The Board of Nyasa Junior Academy is looking for an experienced KEY STAGE ONE and TWO teacher who can teach in Africa. We are looking for someone with vision, drive and leadership skills to expand this well established small school.

The school is an International Primary and Montessori Nursery School that is proud of its ‘Green’ status and follows the British/ Cambridge Curriculum with approx. 200 pupils. The campus is situated on the outskirts of Blantyre and features beautiful gardens, swimming facilities, a sports field and play areas.

Malawi is known as the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’ for good reason due to the welcoming people, beautiful countryside and pleasant climate. Blantyre is close to many areas of scenic beauty such as Mount Mulanje, game reserves
and the beautiful Lake Malawi.
