Secondary Chinese and Humanities Teacher

Position Overview

We seek a dynamic, enthusiastic, and talented Secondary Chinese and Humanities Teacher. The successful candidate will be able to help students understand Chinese language and literature and humanities not just as a subject of academic study, but as a way to understand themselves, Chinese culture, and their world.

The successful candidate will teach across the age ranges from Grade 7 to 12 including Key Stage 3, IGCSE, and A Level (CIE and Edexcel). They therefore need to have an established background in successfully preparing senior cohorts for external examinations. 

Since our mission of cultivating compassionate creators and social entrepreneurs goes beyond the traditional curriculum, we are seeking teachers who are keen to develop new curriculum and adapt existing curriculum to integrate experiential learning, to purposefully adopt technology and more innovative pedagogies, such as project-based learning.

As an inclusive program serving a range of learners, the position will suit teachers who thrive in diverse classrooms and professionally collaborative cultures. The ability to differentiate, support individual learners, and teach Chinese and Humanities will be relevant and vital.
