We are seeking an exceptional Mathematics Teacher for Lower Primary (Years 1 & 2) to join a dynamic, internationally oriented academic community committed to delivering world-class education through the Cambridge Primary Programme.
If you are passionate about early numeracy, believe in the power of inquiry-based learning, and thrive in a rigorous yet nurturing classroom environment, this opportunity is designed for you.
The position requires a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Early Childhood Education, Primary Education, or a closely related field, preferably obtained from a recognised institution. Postgraduate studies in Mathematics Education, Curriculum and Instruction, or Educational Psychology are considered a strong asset.
Regarding Cambridge credentials, the Cambridge International Certificate for Teachers and Trainers (CICTT) or the Cambridge Primary Teaching Award is highly desirable; candidates not yet holding this certification must demonstrate willingness to undertake Cambridge-endorsed professional development upon appointment. A valid teaching licence or professional registration is equally required.
English proficiency at a minimum C1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference is mandatory, demonstrated by an internationally recognised credential such as IELTS ≥ 7.0, TOEFL iBT ≥ 95, or Cambridge C1 Advanced / C2 Proficiency. The role further requires a minimum of three years of documented classroom experience teaching Mathematics at the primary level, preferably within a bilingual or internationally accredited school environment. Familiarity with the Singapore Mathematics curriculum framework — particularly its Pentagon Model and Concrete–Pictorial–Abstract sequencing — is considered a significant differentiating asset.
On a personal level, the post-holder is expected to demonstrate a genuinely collaborative disposition, sustained reflective practice, and a strong commitment to child safeguarding and professional ethics. Cultural responsiveness, understood as an active awareness of the bilingual, multicultural composition of the school community, is essential, as is the organisational effectiveness required to manage instructional, assessment, and administrative responsibilities with precision and reliability.
You will shape the mathematical thinking of young learners aged 5 to 7, guiding them through the Cambridge Primary Mathematics Curriculum Framework with creativity, structure, and developmental sensitivity. With 24 instructional hours per week and 6 hours dedicated to collaborative planning and professional dialogue, your timetable is built to protect what matters most: the quality of your teaching and the depth of your professional relationships.
This position comes with a comprehensive expatriate package designed to ensure a seamless relocation and a genuinely rewarding professional experience.
The successful candidate will be engaged under a one-year fixed-term employment contract governed by Colombian labour law, equivalent to a 42-hour full-time workload per week, structured around:
• 24 instructional hours
• 6 hours dedicated to collaborative planning, curriculum development, and professional dialogue
This balance reflects the institution’s commitment to both teaching excellence and meaningful collegial practice.
In accordance with Colombian labour regulations, the contract may be renewed upon mutual agreement and satisfactory performance evaluation, ensuring continuity and long-term professional development within the institution. Many of our international teachers remain with the school for multiple contract cycles, reflecting the strength of our academic community and the professional environment we cultivate.
Housing is fully covered throughout the duration of the contract, encompassing rent, furnishings, and utility costs, so that the transition to a new country is met with stability and comfort from the outset. All visa and consular fees associated with the relocation process are assumed entirely by the institution.ok Daily logistics are equally provided for: the school offers subsidised door-to-school transportation in both directions as well as a subsidised lunch at the school canteen each working day. Comprehensive medical insurance is in place from the first day of the contract.
Located in the northern corridor of Bogotá — one of Latin America's most dynamic and culturally layered cities — Guaymaral offers an uniquely privileged setting: spacious, green, and removed from the urban density, yet well connected to the full breadth of the capital's cultural, gastronomic, and social life.
