French Teacher for Key Stages 1-2 (Part-time)

About the role – French Teacher for Key Stages 1 and 2 (0.5-0.7 FTE)

BC Academy, located in Dubai's Jumeirah district, seeks an enthusiastic, innovative and forward-thinking French Teacher to care for and educate our Key Stage 1-2 students. The ideal candidate will be an experienced teacher of Primary French as a modern foreign language. A knowledge of the English National Curriculum for Languages is desirable; since the role is part-time (around 0.5-0.7 FTE is envisaged) applicants already resident in-country are preferred.

We seek a teacher with a broad interest in language teaching, who balances high-quality active learning with building positive and appropriate relationships with all students, not only those pre-disposed to success in languages.

About our school

While our Dubai campus is new, our school family has more than 1000 children of Pre-School-Key Stage 5 in various locations.
