Kindergarten Teacher

The KL International School of Chongqing is seeking a Kindergarten teacher to join our growing community!

KLIS is seeking a caring and energetic kindergarten teacher who love to inspire a love of learning in young students. Our teachers deeply care about students and lead classrooms that focus on individualized learning.

KL International School of Chongqing

The KL International School was founded in 2015 as the second licensed PreK – Year 13 international school for expatriates in Chongqing, China. KLIS is the only private, co-educational, not-for-profit international school in Chongqing. Our mission is to prepare creative, collaborative and curious students who will thrive as educated global citizens, self-sustaining learners and ethical leaders. KLIS believes in being a “Responsive School for a Changing World”.

KLIS Educators

KLIS educators are bright, adaptive, and responsive to their students. They are culturally aware, understanding that a diverse group of students, each with unique backgrounds, sits in front of them each day. They are patient and caring, taking time to explain concepts to differing learning levels and cherish the opportunity to serve as role models. They are explorers of Chongqing and the world – both interested in and dedicated to learning inside and outside of the classroom.  Most of all, KLIS educators love students.

As a Kindergarten teacher, you will serve as the lead teacher with a dedicated teaching aide in the classroom. Your classroom will never exceed 17 students and you will be part of a tight knit early elementary school team serving a diverse community.
