Just one hour’s drive from Dubai International Airport, the Academy provides UK and IB education to almost 3600 students from 78 nationalities across its 5 schools, each with its own unique character. 

Due to continued growth in student numbers, we need a Teacher of EAL who wishes to be part of a professionally dynamic, supportive and forward thinking learning community, in a safe, family-friendly setting.  We are looking for a primary-experienced EAL teacher, or primary school literacy specialist,  ideally to start immediately, but would be willing to consider applicants with a January start date.

-Have the ability to use IT to support teaching and learning.

Please note, that due to regulations, we can only consider applicants who have formal qualifications in primary teaching, or who hold QTS or are just finishing their training (with regard the latter, we are a BSO school and can help an NQT to qualify for Qualified Teacher Status).

Please speak to us if you are  able to engage, motivate and support our students, other staff and parents, and present a positive and enthusiastic outlook  and, most importantly of all, fully subscribe to the maxim that “all complex decision-making must be based on what constitutes best practice for the child”.

Welcome to RAK Academy. We have been delivering international education in the beautiful emirate of Ras Al Khaimah since 1975. During that time, we have welcomed countless students of all ages and abilities through our doors— our Academy was founded under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah (RAK).

Located in the scenic emirate of RAK, one of the seven emirates of the UAE, we are honoured to give back to the community we are based in. We offer internationally recognised curricula to more than 2,600 students from more than 80 nationalities.

We offer both the UK curriculum and the International Baccalaureate across all stages of education, including Early Years, Primary School, and Secondary School. Our UK curriculum is implemented across our three branches: Khuzam, Al Hamra, and Al Rams. This curriculum follows the standards set by the United Kingdom and ensures that students receive a well-rounded education in line with international benchmarks.

In addition to the UK curriculum, we are proud to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) at our Khuzam branch. The IB consists of two programs: The Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP). These internationally recognised programs encourage critical thinking, creativity, and a holistic approach to education, empowering students to become lifelong learners and global citizens.

At RAK Academy, we strive to provide a nurturing and inclusive learning environment that supports the individual growth and development of each student. Our dedicated staff are committed to delivering high-quality education that prepares students for future success in higher education and their future careers. We look forward to welcoming passionate educators to join our dedicated and talent team.
