Media Studies Teacher

Horizon International School is a supportive, student focused, international community school. We strive to challenge and inspire all learners to develop their skills and nurture values through a love of learning so that they can responsibly embrace the diverse challenges of tomorrow.

Horizon International School, Dubai is an established, thriving community that follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the National Curriculum of England in Primary and Secondary. Students take a combination of IGCSE and GCSE at the end of Key Stage 4 leading into ‘A’ levels thereafter. The school community has rapidly grown, and we now have approximately 1000 students with ages ranging from 3 to 18 from over 74 different countries. 

September 2019 saw further expansion in our growing Secondary phase. As a result, we require an innovative and passionate teacher to join our community. Given the size of the Secondary dept, colleagues with previous pastoral experience, or wider school responsibilities, would be very welcome. 

We welcome applications from teachers who have a creative approach to curriculum delivery and who put the children first. High standards, flexibility and a commitment to developing the whole child are essential. You will need to be self-motivated, have a growth mindset and be able to work well as part of a growing team.
