The successful candidate will have a strong philosophy, a track record of exceptional classroom performance, and will understand the needs of an ambitious, selective day and boarding school.

Amongst the many responsibilities assigned to the role, you will lead on accreditation processes, work with NLCS UK to quality assure provision across the whole school and assume overall responsibility for the recruitment of teaching staff.
The school is set in a striking location. Jeju Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 130km off the southern coast of the Korean peninsula, is often described as one of Asia’s best kept secrets. With its temperate climate, stunning natural scenery, array of rare and endangered wildlife and welcoming beaches, it is a fascinating and breathtaking environment in which to live.
