Primary class teacher (for subjects taught in English)

About Open Sky International 

Our first school in Morocco is situated in Oasis, Casablanca. It is one of the first international branches opened by Open Sky International, an ambitious and innovative new schools’ group based in Paris, and other OSI schools will be opening in various locations internationally over the next five years. OSI Casablanca intends to very quickly become one of the best schools in Morocco and our aspirations for our pupils will be high.

The school’s curriculum is broad and incorporates the best aspects of a range of international education systems. In the pre-school (or the maternelle as it is called in French) children follow a programme which is very similar in ethos to the UK Early Years curriculum, and from the primary, all pupils follow a bilingual timetable, taking half of their classes in French and the remainder in English. Arabic is also an important part of the curriculum. Initially, the school is welcoming pupils from the ages of 4 to 11 years old, and it will serve children from both the Moroccan and expatriate communities in Casablanca.

Who are we looking for?

We are now looking for a motivated, creative and hard-working primary teacher to deliver our English language curriculum in literacy, mathematics and science. We are seeking to recruit a teacher who very much enjoys working as a member of a team, always aims to work collaboratively and wants to have a powerful impact on the lives of the children that he or she teaches. Ideally, you will already have previous teaching experience with students whose first language is not English. The successful candidate is also expected to contribute to the OSI extracurricular programme and other curriculum enrichment activities as required.

The successful candidate will be:

• An excellent practitioner with high expectations for all students and committed to ensuring they reach their full potential.

• An inspiring professional who enthuses his or her classes and is experienced in teaching English, mathematics and science at primary level.

• Enthusiastic and passionate about education, with a good understanding of best practice.

• Able to demonstrate thorough curriculum knowledge and the capacity to teach all subject areas with confidence.

• Able to support and promote the values of the school.

• Eager to discover new cultures and ideas, and open to the challenges of living and working abroad.

All successful applicants will have an appropriate qualification, with a PGCE or other qualification leading to approved teacher status. A minimum of four years of experience in teaching the relevant age group is required. As we are a bilingual school, all teachers are required to learn and speak French. For teachers who need support with learning the French language, private lessons with a tutor will be provided by the school.

Why choose us?

OSI offers you the chance to become a part of a committed, international team. We intend to establish further schools to implement our vision for bilingual education over the next few years, and this gives our teachers the opportunity to become part of an exciting new project. In addition, OSI offers a competitive salary.
