Maths Teacher

The Yew Chung Education Foundation (YCEF) has asked Teacherhorizons to lead the search for talented and experienced Maths teachers to join their prestigious international school in Shanghai.

Teacherhorizons<https://www.teacherhorizons.com/> connects teachers with opportunities in top schools all over the world. Teachers use it to explore schools overseas and gain free support from education experts. Since 2013 Teacherhorizons has placed over one hundred happy teachers in YCEF schools in Hong Kong and China. Feedback has been resoundingly positive...

“I am in Yew Chung Shanghai and I am loving every minute. The school is amazing with such lovely students. The academic potential of the students is nothing that I have ever come across before. The effort and work ethic the students show in their work is second to none. The expats are extremely friendly and my social life is exhaustive,” (a teacher recently placed at YCIS Shanghai)

Reputable schools across China and Hong Kong.

Yew Chung Education Foundation (YCEF) was established just over 80 years ago and is highly accredited. Today it educates over five thousand students in five schools across China. Their schools cater for students from pre-school through to high school as well as providing accredited higher education programmes tailoring to both local and international needs. YCEF nurture globally competitive students and shape them to be responsible global citizens. The foundation’s core values include upholding moral values on the basic tenets of Christian faith, but religion is not taught in schools nor are teachers required to be of any particular religion.

This is an exciting time to be involved in a pioneering and growing organisation that brings together the best of Eastern and Western education values. The Foundation’s successful International School model is expanding and developing. Currently they operate schools in many Chinese cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Qingdao as well as Hong Kong and the US, with plans to expand further.

YCIS Shanghai is an exceptional school - considered to be one of the leading international schools in Shanghai and the first to be officially registered with the Chinese government. The school is based in a prime location within Shanghai and has a truly international feel with students of 45 nationalities and teachers from 14 different countries.

“The school has lived up to every expectation and more. The staff both Chinese and Western have been very welcoming and accommodating. The school is beautiful and I think you were right about how this school would be a good fit for us” Teacher at YCIS Shanghai, Sept 2014
