The school can also rent apartment in Pingxiang city centre and cover the majority of rent cost if any international teacher prefers to live off-campus in downtown area.

Quote from Gerry Doyle, our English Teacher from Ireland: “This is my second year in the school. I have been teaching here since August 2017. The school itself is on a large campus with many facilities. This year a new school building has been completed for the international school. Moving to a new country can always have its challenges and it does take a little time to adapt to the culture and traditions in China. The students here are very friendly and motivated. They always say hello and are warm and welcoming. Here you may teach a wide age range which can be challenging but is also diverse and rewarding. My colleagues in the Primary and Middle schools have been extremely helpful, friendly and encouraging. The people in Pingxiang are very friendly and helpful. The language barrier can be an obstacle to communication but with a few Chinese lessons you will navigate your way around China with no problems. I live on campus in a comfortable studio apartment. There is also an extra communal kitchen, dining area and laundry room. ”

Quote from Hari Hayre, our PE Teacher from the UK: “I have worked here for two years. The school is friendly and constantly developing. The students and staff are very friendly. Pingxiang is a quiet city but Changsha is only 30 minutes away by train and is a good city for nightlife, shopping etc. Everywhere in China and Asia is easily reached from here, either by train or plane. Living conditions are a studio flat but there are plans to improve this in 2019. ”

Quote from Anu Vangari, our Art Teacher from India: “I have been working here for 6 months. The students and staff (Teaching and Non-Teaching) are friendly and helpful. The school campus is very large with all required facilities. I stay on campus accommodation provided with comfortable studio flat. To communicate with people Google Translate is a great help in whole China. Pingxiang city is walkable distance away from school campus with good shopping complex and banks. Transport facility is comfortable provided with DIDI CABS and Taxi. The school is developing new buildings with good infrastructure for the international school which is asset for school growth. ”

We are looking for more international teachers to join our dynamic and friendly staff team who are passionate to deliver high quality education to our motivated students. The successful candidates will be rewarded with a comprehensive remuneration package and invaluable opportunities for personal and professional development and fulfilment.
