Job overview
Guanghua Cambridge International School (Shanghai) is seeking an experienced and dedicated A-level art teacher.
The school
Due to the differences between the education systems, Chinese students find the direct move from a Chinese high school system to a Western University exceedingly difficult. An appreciation of these problems by Chinese parents has led to a growing demand for offering an internationally recognized curriculum (A level) for Chinese high school students who intend on continuing their education overseas. Guanghua Cambridge International School has taken a key role in offering this academic alternative.
More than four years have passed since our opening in August 2011. We have thrived from a promising new school of 88 students to a moderately influential school of around 460 students and more than 70 teaching and administrative staff. Our first graduating class of 17 students received nearly 80 offers including 3 from Oxford University. Further on, greater achievements have been proudly brought to us by our students this year (Sep.2015), a total number of 602 offers have been received by our graduating class of 2015, among which 4 were from Cambridge or Oxford University.
The school's culture and ethos define the school's identity. Our school’s motto is 'Happy International School'. We strongly believe that happy teachers create a happy school. Based on our past experience in the international educational field, we realize how important good relationships are in a school and how a buzzing and friendly environment helps teachers and students in the process of productive teaching and learning. We welcome and respect cultural diversity. The school is committed to create a relaxed but disciplined working environment, to attract top talented professionals and keep a high retention rate.

Students are encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities, outside of the classroom. There are approximately 20 different clubs led by students at the school. This includes the debating team, which won the 2015 National Hangzhou Regional Tournament Championship. A lot of the teachers give up their spare time to help the students run these activities. The school keeps classes as small as possible which makes teaching and learning a lot easier. The teacher-to-student ratio is eight to one. Most of the classes have around 25 students.
