Founding Vice-Principal and Head of Senior School

The position

The opening of STS International School in September 2023 creates an exciting opportunity for an exceptional educational leader to become a key member of the Senior Leadership Team at a new 3 to 18 co-educational British-style international school as Vice-Principal and Head of Senior School.

STSIS will offer a rigorous Cambridge International curriculum, culminating in IGCSE, Cambridge GCE AS and A2 Level for students aged 3 – 18. The pre-primary curriculum for children aged 3 to 5  will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage from the UK.

The campus at Sun Valley, 2 km from the American embassy in the central residential and commercial district of Gulshan, is being purpose-built to a design by specialist UK architects Create Design UK and Beaumont Partners Thailand in order to establish the kind of innovative learning spaces in which a truly 21st Century education can take place. 

The successful candidate should have a global perspective and proven record of relevant leadership in education, while experience as a member of a Senior Leadership Team opening a new school in similar circumstances would be an advantage.

The preferred starting date for the position is August or September 2022.
