Job overview
Institut Le Rosey is a dual-language (English and French) co-educational IB World School for 440 pupils with a unique two-campus system.
The school seeks to appoint an English literature graduate to teach pre-IB (UK years 8 to 11, US grades 7 to 10) beginning in September 2019. The curriculum for these years is our own, and no external assessment is done before the IBDP (sixth form, grades 11-12). The majority of our students have mother tongues other than English, but almost all speak and write at a high level, and most of the teaching in the English department is literature-based.
The school is outstandingly well resourced with an enormous print library and an impressive new arts and learning centre, and a progressive and highly active CPD programme.
The successful applicant will be a native-level speaker of English, a keen reader and an adaptable, creative teacher who enjoys collaboration.
On campus accommodation is provided and conditions of work are attractive. The teacher appointed will be expected to play an active role in boarding school in life. Further details at https://www.rosey.ch/information/employment/

Further details will be sent to all short-listed candidates. Interviews will take place in London and/or Switzerland in February.
Closing date for receipt of applications: Friday 8th February
About Institut Le Rosey
Founded in 1880, Institut Le Rosey (www.rosey.ch) offers a rounded bilingual education in English and/or French for 440 students aged 8-18, leading to the IB Diploma and French baccalauréat. It also offers a unique two-campus system through its move from a 75-acre château setting by Lake Geneva to the school’s alpine campus every winter term. An IB World School, Le Rosey is fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and MSA.
An International Mission
Le Rosey is a highly international community, with well over 60 nationalities in its student body, and over 20 on the teaching staff. The cultural and linguistic diversity of its 440 students is guaranteed by selective admissions with no more than 10% of students from any country. This multinational mix creates a special and very friendly campus atmosphere, as well as enhancing global awareness and international understanding.
Academics
In addition to promoting bilingualism and biculturalism, Le Rosey offers a broad academic programme and range of IB and “Pre-Bac” subjects, with an exceptionally strong tradition in foreign languages. Class sizes are small and the main campus in Rolle is particularly well equipped. All students without exception sit the full diploma of the IB or the French “bac”; results are excellent (IB/French bac average of 36+ points), and all students go on to universities in the USA, UK and across the world, with well over 30% to the Ivy League, Ivy league Plus, Oxbridge, and top-ranked universities across the world.
Sports, Arts and Expeditions
Le Rosey is committed to holistic educational principles. An exceptionally varied, sports, expedition, arts and cultural programme takes full advantage of facilities which include riding stables, a sailing centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and a fitness and “wellness” centre. There is also a strong winter sports tradition. The school boasts an exceptional state-of-the-art Arts and Learning Centre and 900-seat concert hall (www.roseyconcerthall.ch) on its Rolle campus.
Safeguarding and Wellbeing Statement
Institut Le Rosey is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff to share this commitment. All new employees are required to undertake a security clearance, which includes providing criminal records reports as well as a special excerpt from the Swiss criminal records for people working with children.
Diversity Statement
