Job overview


Garden International School presents an exciting opportunity to join a well-established, successful school on Thailand’s beautiful Eastern Seaboard. We are looking for a Key Stage 2 teacher to start in August 2022.

We are looking for an energetic, dynamic KS2 teacher to join our team. The Primary section of the school is a two-form entry with partner teachers and specialist teachers working closely together to deliver our unique topic-based curriculum, which is extended from the 2014 English National Curriculum. The successful candidates will be excellent all-around teachers with good organisational skills and have initiative and a commitment to all aspects of school life. In addition, they should have a proven ability to communicate well through a variety of media with different sections of the school community. Experience of teaching the UK curriculum and knowledge of White Rose Maths would be desirable. Experience or knowledge of teaching a connected learning curriculum is also desirable - preferably using Cornerstones Maestro or similar. Applicants should be well-organised, child-centred, and understand current pedagogical best practice in primary education.

We have a vibrant extra-curricular programme across the school. Candidates able to coach sports, especially football, swimming and basketball, or who would be keen to develop the Arts or our Forest School programme, would be particularly welcome.

Garden International School is a coeducational school of around 460 students, with classes from Early Years to Year 13. We have over 40 nationalities represented in our community and use an educational framework based on the English National Curriculum, leading to IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Many of our students have English as a second or even third, language; a strong English Language Support department supports these students. We have a small boarding facility, and the school has a wonderful sense of community. Class sizes are generally small, with the students well motivated, engaged in their learning and supported by their families. Our results are impressive year on year, with around 90% of students achieving five or more A*- C grades at IGCSE, an IB pass rate of 100%, and an average point score of 35.

Our school is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) and the Thai Ministry of Education (ONESQA). We are affiliated to the International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT) and the Department for Education in the United Kingdom. We are also a founder member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA).

Ban Chang is a semi-rural coastal town in Rayong Province, about 2 hours from Bangkok and 45 minutes from both the tourist hot-spot of Pattaya and the bustling city of Rayong. Thailand is a vibrant and exciting country with rich cultural experiences. It is a beautiful part of the world with friendly people, year-round sun, and a safe place to work overseas. The cost of living is reasonable, and teachers tend to avail themselves of high-quality holiday experiences in the region.

The health, safety, and well-being of all students at Garden International School are the foremost concern of all adults employed by the school. Aligned with the recommendations of the International Task Force on Child Protection, we hold ourselves to a high standard of effective recruiting practices with specific attention to child protection.
