Teachers
In the summer, we employ a team of qualified teachers to teach their subjects and have experience with A-Level, IB, GCSE, IGCSE, and primary subjects, depending on the subjects and ages you're interested in teaching. TOEFL experience is a plus. As well as experience we are looking for teachers who have the enthusiasm and a love for their subjects. We like our teachers to make their subject options interesting for their students, and the lessons will be a mixture of theory and practical work.
Teachers can work one to four teaching blocks a week (each block is one daily lesson, Monday - Friday; teachers can therefore teach between one to four classes per day). We are looking for teachers who are available for a minimum of 2 weeks, but priority is given to teachers who are available for the whole course.
Camp Counsellors
We also look for enthusiastic Camp Counsellors. Ideal for this role are lively people comfortable leading groups of students through activities and trips. You will be responsible for planning and leading activities/electives (elective options include art, baking, dance, sports, engineering, robotics and photography), leading the students in daily activities on campus, leading afternoon and full-day trips as well as caring for students in the boarding house and supervising them at meal times and break times and making sure our students have a fantastic, fun-filled summer. You will need to be flexible, well organised and have great time management skills.
We are primarily looking for camp counsellors who are available to work for the duration of the course.
