Job Details

VCIS is seeking an exceptional and highly motivated teacher to be part of our creative arts department.

Varee Chiangmai International School is a fully accredited member of EDT (Education Development Trust) and delivers CIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) following a English-based curriculum across the key stages in Geography leading to IGCSE and A level.

The Arts department is focussed on ensuring lessons are active, challenging and relatable for students. We collaborate in planning and delivering lessons to a consistently high standard, and encourage staff to try new strategies to engage and develop learners. By the end of their arts education at VCIS, we strive to make students creative thinkers with the ability to imagine and innovate freely.
