Careers

Why Work at Kingston?

Kingston International School is an exciting environment to begin or continue a teaching career in IB education!

Kingston International School offers an IB-PYP bilingual (English/Putonghua) programme for students aged 1 to 11 years of age. Kingston has three campuses - the Kindergarten and Children's Centre which houses our early years programme for children 1 to 5 years of age, a Lower Primary campus for students from Year 1 to Year 3 and an Upper Primary campus for students from Year 4 to Year 6. Although we have three campuses we are still a small school with a community feel. We maintain small class sizes and have an English and a Putonghua class teacher for each class.

Kingston has been an authorized IB-PYP school since 2004. The philosophy of the PYP is infused in all aspects of our school. Teachers receive IB-PYP training and ongoing support from our PYP coordinators.

At Kingston we value teachers who are passionate, enthusiastic and true life long learners. Teachers who thrive in a small school environment and value team work both in the classroom and as a whole school are ideal Kingston teachers. Our teaching team is comprised of English and Putonghua teachers working side by side in the classroom so strong interpersonal skills and evidence of a high level of collaborative planning is essential.

Community

Considering we are a small group of educators and students, there is a real community aspect at our school. Excellent working relationships are established through consistent positive interactions with fellow staff members. Kingston is a wonderful place for staff to collaborate as teachers are ensured planning time with their working teams. Teachers who are looking to work in a supportive and nurturing environment, where educators can discover their passions and flourish in their careers, will find Kingston to be a great fit.
