Job description
Owing to the continued growth of our school St. George's School seeks a well-qualified professional to teach German as a first and/or second language in our flourishing primary department, to start in August 2024.
Having opened in September 2013, St. George’s School Munich has rapidly developed into a thriving community of around 800 pupils and 100 teachers. The school’s ethos of combining an enriching curriculum with family orientated care makes the school a warm and engaging place to work and learn.
In September 2017, the school embarked on an exciting phase of its development, as it moved to a new, purpose-built campus located in the city. These premises provide first-class educational facilities for all ages and subject areas.
The National Curriculum is taught throughout the school and we offer IGCSE qualifications to pupils in our Upper School. Students in the Sixth Form prepare the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
One of a group of three schools located across Germany, St. George’s offers the successful applicant an exciting range of opportunities for professional development and growth across the school group.
The school’s new campus is located in the area of Schwabing-Freimann, to the north of the city centre. The site enjoys good access to the U6 metro line, as well as the A9 motorway.
Germany’s third largest city, and the capital of the state of Bavaria, Munich is a dynamic and vibrant cultural centre, with a large and diverse international community. Situated on the northern edge of the Alps, Munich offers a high standard of living, as well as numerous opportunities for travel and outdoor pursuits.
Munich airport is located 30km from the school, with many daily flights to the UK, and high speed rail services connect Munich to a wide range of European destinations.
We are seeking to appoint a qualified teacher of German as a first and/or second language to work in our flourishing German department in the primary school.
All pupils follow a course in German that is appropriate to their age and ability in German. First language speakers follow the local Bavarian curriculum for German language. Second language speakers follow a curriculum that is tailored to their level and needs. German teachers work across the whole primary department and play an important role in monitoring pupil development. They keep careful track of pupils’ progress and maintain regular dialogue with parents.
The successful applicant will be a dynamic teacher with experience of enabling pupils to achieve their potential. We are looking for the right balance between experience, enthusiasm and a passion for teaching that will inspire our pupils.
Fluency in both English and German are a prerequisite. Familiarity with the English National Curriculum and Bavarian curriculum for German are also beneficial.
Given the growing and developing nature of the school, flexibility and the desire to support other team members is essential. A strong desire to contribute to the rich pastoral and extra-curricular life of the school will also be an advantage.
