Job Description:
The International School seeks passionate and effective educators to teach primary students in grades 4-8. Our school emphasizes a collaborative approach to learning with a dual program for all students. Learners thrive with instruction in both Polish and English covering two curricula- the Polish and Canadian program. Our teachers work together to give instruction in Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Art in a collaborative environment at the elementary level.
This is a great opportunity for teachers who have been waiting for their first international contract or teachers who have always wanted to apply their skills in an exciting environment that allows unlimited exposure to history and culture. Our educational success consists of a well-thought program, cooperation between home and school, selection of materials and individualization of working methods with a specific class. We emphasize project-based learning and encourage interdisciplinary projects and plans.
