We are back in Yangon after a significant period of online learning and are recruiting outstanding teachers who have a dynamic, creative and adventurous approach to learning.

If you are passionate about your subject, working with children and making a real difference to the lives of others in a magical setting, BSY may well have the perfect opportunity for you. After a period of some disruption, life in Yangon has resumed a sense of normality and we have returned to on-campus learning in our superb, purpose-built, spacious and extensively resourced campus. Yangon is a wonderful city to be based in. It is beautifully green - both literally and on the FCDO travel advisory map. This means that the UK Government now allows for travel to Yangon.  

We are a small school with undoubtedly the best facilities in the city and we offer a genuine and personalised approach to both our students’ learning and our teachers’ wellbeing and professional development. For those with an enthusiastic, collaborative, professional and adventurous approach to learning and to life, this may well be the perfect opportunity for you.Established in August 2014 BSY later became part of Nord Anglia Education and its global family of schools. We provide personalised, inspiring learning to students from EYFS- Year 13 and we link our learning approach and attitude to our four key values:
