About Guangzhou
Known also as Canton, Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong province and one of the most prosperous cities in China. The city is located at the north of the Pearl River delta, covering an area of over 16,000 square kilometers. It has a history of more than 2,800 years, with the longest history among the international trade port cities in the world. The spoken language of Guangzhou is Cantonese - the same as Hong Kong, which sounds quite different from Mandarin. Canton cuisine is one of the four major food styles of China, in particular Dim Sum, a large range of small dishes that Cantonese people traditionally enjoy in restaurants for breakfast and lunch.
The school site is in Panyu district of Guangzhou, which is one of the future Central Business Districts of the city. As students progress through the school, they will enjoy world-class educational facilities, enabling specialist teaching in STEM subjects, advanced independent research through extensive library resources and the pursuit of a wide range of interests through first-rate sporting facilities.
We are looking for
- Highly talented individuals who share our ethos of ‘a complete education’, enjoy working collaboratively and cross-culturally, and who share the same passion to contribute fully to the development of an outstanding new school.
- Staff who want to join us in building a diverse, committed and highly supportive school and local community with a commitment to academic excellence.
- Staff who are fully committed to continuous professional development and who want to make a real difference to children's lives.
What we offer
- Every teacher will have both academic and pastoral responsibilities (within an agreed weekly teaching allocation) and as such will have the opportunity to contribute actively to (as well as take part in) the extensive co-curricular programme.
- As a school we will value the input of all staff on our journey to becoming the most innovative bilingual school in China; so, if you want to be part of a dynamic and vibrant group of educators—this is the school for you.
- As the school develops, there will be many opportunities for staff to take on new responsibilities - and promotion from within for those who are dedicated, capable and who embrace the Benenden ethos will be a real focus for the group and a chance to become part of the Benenden family.
