Kaohsiung American School
DP Chemistry Teacher
October 29, 2024
Kaohsiung American School (KAS) is a private, not-for-profit day school established in 1989 for the children of expatriate families in Kaohsiung. The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and offers the IB’s MYP and DP programmes. We receive annual grants and sponsorship from the US Department of State.
Kaohsiung American School moved into its beautiful, purpose-built campus buildings in 2015/2016. We are recognized as the premier international school in southern Taiwan. We currently enroll 770 students from 40+ countries, although most of our students share Taiwanese heritage and Mandarin as a first language. The High School enrolls 260+ students and includes 35+ full or part time faculty members. Every year, 65–85% of our students are full IB Diploma candidates, and almost all other students will take certificates in one or more subject areas. All our students are multilingual learners.
DP Chemistry Teacher
The DP Chemistry teacher is responsible for planning, delivering and assessing developmentally appropriate instruction within the International Baccalaureate framework. An ideal candidate will have at least five years of teaching experience and a teaching license. KAS offers the MYP and DP programmes in the high school, so IB experience is also preferable. Depending on the candidate’s experience and interests—and student enrollment numbers— there is a potential for 1 or 2 MYP Chemistry or other science elective courses.
We look for faculty members with a learning mindset, “can do” approach to teaching and learning, a sense of humor, and a desire to contribute to school improvement as a team player. Additionally, our team is seeking faculty who share a commitment to engaging in a diverse professional community that is growing in its DEIJ principles and practices. We have a strong commitment to professional development which aligns with schoolwide and personal learning goals.
