ROLE SUMMARY:

The International school of Ticino is seeking to appoint a part time German teacher to join us for January 2025. Ideally the candidate would be equally comfortable teaching all levels from beginner to native speaker and all ages from 7 to 18, but the department has the flexibility to accommodate the right candidate who can only offer elements of this. German is unique as a subject at IST in that as well as following the IB programme we prepare students for the Goethe examinations at various stages throughout their school career. Almost all students study the language from aged 6 to 16, after which those who wish can opt to study it as Language B in the IB Diploma. Classes in MYP are based on level of German rather than age.

OUR SCHOOL

Our school was founded in September 2014 as part of the ISE network of schools, spanning Italy and Switzerland. The school has had year on year growth, and now has 270 students across the age range of 3-18. In January 2021 the International School of Ticino became the only IB continuum school in the area and had our first DP class graduate in July 2023 with a high value added. Our cohort last summer achieved a high average score of 34, with university admission process for Cambridge held, and entrance confirmed to Universities such as Bocconi, Lausanne and other leading institutions. The school is one of several very successful Swiss and Italian schools belonging to Inspired, a worldwide network of premium schools offering global best practice and professional development. More information about the school can be found on our website at http://www.isticino.com/.

The ideal candidate will be excited by the opportunity to help continue to grow an IB school and will be experienced in teaching a range of ages and abilities across the entire primary and/or secondary school age range. The offer is for a permanent contract but we will consider a fixed term contract if requested. Our location offers the opportunity live on Lake Lugano in Switzerland or, as some teachers do, commute from the Lake Como area north of Milan.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

be in possession of a university degree in a related subject and an appropriate teaching qualification;
have had recent, demonstrable experience teaching secondary within the 11-18 age range;
be an enthusiastic and passionate teacher with a love of teaching and the ability to convey this successfully to students;
be an EU passport holder or already be in possession of a valid visa that enables her or him to work in Switzerland.
be resilient, reflective and possessed of a good sense of humour
Previous experience with IB programmes is a distinct advantage. Further training will be offered, together with relocation assistance.

WHY WORK WITH US:

A knowledgeable and talented staff body committed to supporting the very best in student achievement.
IB professional development during employment
A very competitive salary in the region
Support settling in to Switzerland or Italy
Further leadership and professional development
An exciting opportunity to be part of a new school build and development
