This is a key role for the school.  Mathematics is a highly regarded subject in Egypt and our current Mathematics department is a very strong department.

You would be responsible for building on our current developments and ensuring the continued success of our Mathematics department

We seek applications from enthusiastic, hardworking, experienced and talented teachers wishing to take on a very significant leadership and management position and seeking to develop their teaching career in an international setting. 

We follow the National Curriculum in KS3, IGCSE in KS4 and A-level in KS5.  

You would be joining a very supportive committed group of teachers with a mix of young and more experienced teachers.

The British School, Alexandria (NOR 520) is a long established, high achieving and forward thinking 3-18 International School known for its family atmosphere.  We have recently had a BSO inspection in which we were described as a “Good school with many outstanding features”.  We enjoy an excellent reputation both within Alexandria and further afield.  We are an accredited member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) as well as British Schools in the Middle East (BSME).  We are committed to ensuring excellent learning and teaching in a caring environment.  You will find the school a rewarding and friendly place to work with good relationships between staff and students.  We have a strong commitment to the professional development of all our staff.

Alexandria is a bustling, friendly and cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean full of historical interest.  Life for teachers is enjoyable with a relatively low cost of living and a sufficiently good infrastructure, shops, cafes and restaurants to lead a European lifestyle.  Most teachers are able to save at least 60% of their salary and at the same time enjoy exploring Egypt.  Although in the past Egypt has appeared in the media, you will find that living in Alexandria is in reality similar to living in any other big city with no particular security issues and a strong and stable government.
