MYP and DP French Language A Teacher

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.

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.  Teaching in our Upper School means that you will be expected to take part in the student wellbeing / advisory programme.

Why ISL?

At ISL, you will join a diverse, caring, and forward-thinking community where:

•    Learning is driven by curiosity, compassion, and connection

•    Educators are supported to grow, reflect, and innovate

•    Students are empowered to find their voice and shape their future

About the Role

At ISL, learning is deeply human. We believe in creating spaces where students feel seen, heard, and inspired to take ownership of their learning. We are currently seeking a passionate and reflective French Language A Teacher -Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP)- to join our vibrant learning community in Luxembourg.

As a French Language A Teacher, you will guide students in developing a rich understanding of language, literature, and identity through both the IB MYP and DP frameworks. You will design meaningful, inquiry-driven experiences while preparing older students for the academic rigor and independence of the Diploma Programme. 

At our school, learning is driven by curiosity, inquiry, and hands-on experimentation. We are looking for a teacher who sees teaching as relational, creative and purposeful.
