Part Time French Teacher

The Wingate School is a British International School in Mexico City which offers an educational programme delivered in English focussed on academic excellence, creativity and human formation. The school aims to form a community of critical thinkers who have a multicultural perspective and social commitment. We are accredited as a Cambridge International School.

TWS was founded in 2016, in Virreyes, Mexico City, by a group of British-educated educators.  Much prior experience and best practice has gone into forming this school.  We now enjoy our own much larger campus in Huixquilucan.

The school motto is “Strive, Learn & Serve”.  The service part of the school is the action arm of our School of Character.  The latter supports our philosophy of providing excellent academics while forming young people who understand themselves and are involved in many opportunities for social responsibility.  (See ‘Human Formation’ below.)

The School of Character also provides talks for parents at set times of the year.  We ask that three be attended by our WS parents.

Administration at TWS. We operate in three divisions: Kinder, Primary, and Secondary. There is a Head of Section for Kinder and Primary and a Head of Section for Secondary. The Head Teacher also works with three SEP Directors (the national programme), and a Deputy Head. The Head, Deputy Head, Heads of Section, the Director of the School of Character, the Head of Human Resources, and the school’s Administrator, plus a SEP representative, all form TWS’s Academic Council.

Child protection and safeguarding: The Wingate School is committed to caring for and ensuring the wellbeing of all children and young people. It is our primary duty of care.

TWS has a full-time doctor and several experienced child psychologists operate in all three of the school’s divisions.

As part of our hiring process, our HR department verified candidates’ documentation and references, as well as carries out approved background checks.

All staff at school receive safeguarding training as part of their professional development and the school has an appointed Safeguarding Officer.
