Garden International School, Fiji will offer an international education, based on British methods and curriculum and aims to be the leading provider of quality international education in Fiji.

Garden International School, Fiji is the third international school operated by MBf Taylors, who have over 20 years’ experience of providing world class international education in South- East Asia.

It is a wonderful chance for a dedicated teacher to have an impact on policy, procedures and curriculum.
