Primary Teacher

ROLE SUMMARY:

We are seeking an outstanding primary school teacher to join our team at the Saint Louis School Caviglia campus in the south of Milan. Passionate about teaching and learning, you will be looking for a new role in a growing and ambitious school and keen to develop your craft as a creative and innovative classroom practitioner. Applications are particularly welcome from teachers with an interest in visual arts and who would be keen to deliver  some specialist art lessons across the  upper primary classes.

Saint Louis School Caviglia is known both for high academic standards and our warm, friendly community. Our students follow the English National Curriculum for Key Stage1 and 2,  preparing them forKS3, then IGCSE and ultimately the IBDP which many of them will follow in our sister High School, going on to achieve results which place them at the very top of the  Italian and European league tables. The Caviglia programme is broad and diverse, not only in terms of content  but also in  regard to our use of subject specialists and the opportunity for students to follow a dual curriculum of English and Italian (for mother tongue speakers). This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who is keen to broaden their experience in a fantastic European city known for its cosmopolitan culture and great lifestyle.

As part of the Inspired family of schools, our teachers have access to a global network of professional development and career opportunities and we are committed to helping you to realise your ambitions.
