Job overview
Secondary German Teacher
St George’s the British International School, Duisburg-Düsseldorf, Germany.
St George’s School seeks a well-qualified professional to teach German in our flourishing secondary department, to begin October, 2018.
The School
Serving the international community in Duisburg-Düsseldorf for over 10 years, St George’s School combines an enriching curriculum with family oriented care. The school has grown from small beginnings into a thriving community of over 700 pupils, aged from 2-18 and representing a broad range of nationalities.
The National Curriculum is taught throughout the school, and we now offer the IB Diploma Programme to our Sixth Form.
One of a group of three schools located across Germany, St George’s offers the successful applicant an exciting range of opportunities for professional development and growth across the school group.
The Location
Located on a new, purpose built campus in the heart of Germany’s Rhine-Ruhr region, St George’s School enjoys direct transport links to the cities of Dusseldorf and Duisburg, as well as to the greater Rhine-Ruhr area.
Germany’s sixth largest city, Dusseldorf is a dynamic and vibrant cultural centre, with a large and diverse international community. Situated in the heart of Europe, Dusseldorf offers a high standard of living, as well as numerous opportunities for travel and cultural discovery.
Dusseldorf airport is located only 15km from the school, with numerous daily flights to the UK, and high speed rail services connect Dusseldorf to a wide range of European destinations.
The Role
We are seeking to appoint a qualified practitioner to work within our team of German teachers.
The successful applicant will be a dynamic teacher with experience of enabling pupils to achieve their potential. We are looking for the right balance between experience, enthusiasm and a passion for teaching that will inspire our pupils.
The Modern Foreign Languages faculty promotes an enthusiasm for literature, language learning and an awareness of the importance of language skills within the modern world. Many pupils are bi- or trilingual and we aim to build on pupils’ linguistic abilities to develop confidence of expression in German, French and Spanish.
German is a core subject in the school and all pupils follow classes in the subject. Although the working language of the school is English, there is a clear expectation that pupils maintain a high level of fluency and literacy in the local language.
German is taught at a range of differentiated levels, with classes split between those learning German as a first language, and those learning as a second language. Second language learners follow an accelerated course, and it is our aim that all learners achieve proficiency in the language. First language learners follow the local curriculum for German.
All applicants require a degree level or post-graduate teaching qualification. TEFL, CELTA or equivalent qualifications are not sufficient in their own right.
