Lower School Classroom Teacher (Lower Primary) 1 year contract

Join Our Learning Community at ISL!

Do you believe that every learner has unique potential, and that education should nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and global awareness? Are you passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that empower students to make sense of the world and their place in it?

If so, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

As a teacher in our school, you will play a key role in shaping not only what our students learn, but how they learn. You'll design engaging, concept-driven lessons that invite curiosity, encourage reflection, and challenge students to connect learning to their own lives — locally and globally.

This is more than a teaching position: it's an opportunity to join a collaborative community of educators who value innovation, inclusivity, and lifelong learning.

What You'll Do

1. Inspire and challenge students through inquiry-based, concept-driven teaching.
2. Create a positive and inclusive classroom culture where every learner feels valued and supported.
3. Adapt and differentiate instruction to meet the diverse abilities, needs, and interests of students.
4. Use continuous assessment and feedback to support student growth.
5. Build strong relationships with students, colleagues, and families, grounded in trust and mutual respect.
6. Take part in the vibrant life of the school — from parent evenings to community events to leading beyond-the-classroom activities.
7. Engage in professional growth and bring fresh ideas into the classroom.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds, especially those whose nationality, identity, gender or race is currently under-represented in international education.

We are committed to safeguarding and prioritising children's wellbeing and expect all staff to share this commitment.
