Lower Elementary School Teacher

The successful candidate will join us at an exciting time. NIS is a fully authorised PYP school and we are completing the important next steps in the journey. This includes an ever-deepening approach to rigorous learning through skilfully constructed inquiry leading to conceptual learning. We are also working hard to infuse our PYP programme with high-quality approaches to literacy and numeracy as well as embed international mindedness into an ‘action-oriented’ – and rigorous -curriculum. All this is a work in progress – but if you are keen to help us build, then this may be the right challenge for you. If you are an inclusive, highly-skilled, intentional and strategic teacher, able to construct high-quality learning which ensures all students are challenged, and all students are successful, then this may be the position you have been looking for!
