Middle School (MYP) Art & Drama Teacher

(Note: ability to offer MYP design is also an advantage and there is a possibility of teaching one class of PYP, Gr.5)

You will join the lower MYP programme (most likely Gr.6-7 or 6-8) as a specialist for the Visual Arts and Drama with a strong possibility of at least some Visual Arts teaching in the top year of the PYP.

NIS is fully authorised to offer all three IB programmes with the majority of students taking the full IB Diploma. The Visual Arts are currently a very popular option at all levels and are valued for the depth and balance they bring to students’ understanding of themselves and their world. The school also has a lively Drama department with regular performances which include both student-created and published productions of theatre. The overall arts team is complemented by an active Music department.

The opening of a new building with a multipurpose performance space, new art rooms and new music suite leaves us with great potential for further development in the arts.

NIS is an inclusive school serving a varied array of learners and the position will suit teachers who thrive in diverse classrooms and professional, collaborative cultures.
