Description

French and Spanish Teacher
Singapore

Start Date:
August 2024

Region:
Far East and South East Asia

School Curriculum:

UK
The School

This international school opened in 2020 and is a collaboration with a top co-educational school in the
UK and its four sister schools around the world - all of which are leading schools in their respective regions and which collectively educate more than 4,000 students.

The school opened as a Pre-Prep (located in a purpose-built 'Early Learning Village') for children aged 18 months to 6 years and a Prep School.

In August 2024, the Senior School will open with Years 7, 8 and 9.

The school aims to provide an inspiring education that prepares pupils for life in school and beyond.

The school delivers a curriculum that incorporates the
UK's Early Years Foundation Stage and English National Curriculum, together with a rich co-curricular programme.

Living and Working in Singapore

Mixing together a mass of different cultures, cuisines and architectural styles, Singapore is studded with vast showpiece constructions to complement its colonial-era hotels and buildings.

Cutting-edge tourist developments continue to spring up.

Shopping avenues and underground malls throb with life, as do the food courts, the riverside bars and the temple-dotted outlying neighbourhoods.

Singapore is a very safe, clean, friendly place and ideal for a first time expat and being so close to other countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia means it's cheap and easy to travel overseas.

Requirements:

This is an exciting opportunity for an educationalist to help shape the development of a secondary curriculum that will provide a springboard for pupils to go on to some of the world's leading universities.

Once in role, the Teacher of French and Spanish will be instrumental in ensuring that the modern foreign language provision in the Senior School aligns with the schools commitment to building a world-class academic institution, distinctive in its own right, but with the Brighton College DNA at its core.
