MS / HS English Teacher

Al Riyadh School is recruiting qualified and engaging English Teachers to join their growing Taaleem Charter School, from August 2023

As a leading education provider in the Middle East, Taaleem is supporting the UAE Vision and National Agenda 2021, and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi in their commitment to establishing a “First Rate Education System” for all students.  The Charter Schools is a third education model in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and it is the outcome of a unique partnership between the government and the private sectors. 

As part of this new initiative we were awarded nine schools to manage and operate, to raise the quality of education; playing a significant role in shaping the present and future lives of Emirati youth. The Charter Schools continue to expand with new schools opening in 2023.

We deliver the American Curriculum (NY Standards) and our schools are situated on purpose-built campuses in various locations on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, a total of over 11,000 students from KG1 to Grade 10. We have over 1000 staff on our teams and offer competitive packages to our international employees. 

We are seeking outstanding, dedicated, and resilient English Teachers who are committed to the long-term goals of this project. We would like to recruit teachers who believe they can make a difference to their students, who understand that change is a process and who want to take an active role in sharing their expertise as the school continues to grow and accommodate students up to Grade 12. 

The projected growth of the Taaleem Branch Charter School Project will offer a broad range of opportunities in the coming years. 

Living in Abu Dhabi 

Living in the capital and cultural center of the UAE offers ex-pats a wide range of opportunities. Recently described as a “rising star” the city is rapidly developing its infrastructure, industries, and tourist attractions, while retaining its local culture and heritage. 

The UAE values its multicultural diversity and is currently rated the second safest country in the world. It is a desirable location to live and work and offers a balanced lifestyle. 

The schools and accommodation will be based on the Abu Dhabi side of the city, with easy access to a wide range of leisure activities and tourist attractions.
