Job overview

Dulwich College Beijing, established in 2005, is a dynamic, high-performing, co-educational independent school catering for 1460 expatriate children aged 1–18 from forty-five different countries across six continents. The College comprises three schools, each with its own Head teacher for Early Years, Junior School and Senior School. We offer EYFS in the Foundation Stage, an enhanced English National Curriculum in Key Stages 1, 2 and 3, International GCSEs in KS4 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in KS5. We are situated in the capital city of the second largest and fastest growing economy in the world, 45 minutes from both the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square. We were awarded British International School of the Year in 2011 and in March 2014 were inspected by the British-based Independent Schools Inspectorate, ISI, who reported that, ‘The quality of the pupils’ achievements is excellent, reflecting the successful fulfilment of the school’s aims. The school develops confidence in its pupils, enabling them to apply their skills and talents across the curriculum. Pupils are supported by excellent teaching and their attitudes to learning are exemplary.’ Last year the College won a British International School Award for Teaching Initiative. This year the College has been shortlisted for a British International School Award for Outstanding Initiative Leading to Creativity in Learning and also a TES Award for Strategic Educational Initiative. We have sister schools in Myanmar, Seoul, Shanghai, Suzhou and Singapore, all of which draw on the educational vision and values of Dulwich College London. 

Teacher of Spanish Foreign Language (Senior School)

To join an excellent team of MEL teachers in a well established department, who deliver the Key Stage 3, IGCSE and IB programmes in a creative and engaging manner. The vast majority of students choose between Foreign Language German, French and Spanish in Key Stage 3 and around 10 students go on to take one of these subjects as an option in each of Years 10 and 11. Between 5 and 10 students go on to study a Language B course in one of these languages in each of Years 12 and 13. Student achievement is well above UK benchmarks, and the department has a strong profile across the school. You will be a highly effective and dynamic classroom teacher, with a genuine commitment to putting students first.

All teachers use a laptop computer and all classrooms are digitalised. Continuing Professional Development has a high profile across all parts of the school. Training in areas of technology is provided in house by our ICT Integrators and Champions, as well as from a range of external providers.

Students sit IGCSEs in Year 11 and the IB Diploma in Year 13. All teachers are expected to make a contribution to the co-curricular life of the school.

DCB operates its own salary scale and the school provides and pays for modern and comfortable accommodation within easy reach of the school. Most teachers find that the very generous package enables them to make significant savings whilst enjoying a high quality of life in a vibrant, safe and culturally rich capital city.
