Chemistry Teacher

Harrow Shanghai is a high-performing and market-leading international British curriculum school located in one of the most exciting cities in the world.

Harrow Shanghai provides an independent, British international education from Early Years to Upper Sixth within a modern and purpose-built campus just 35 minutes from the centre of the city. Shanghai is a great city, life is dynamic and varied, and there is a sense of energy and drive everywhere.

The School was launched in September 2016 and has grown into one of China's leading international schools. Working at Harrow is a delight. The pupils are engaged, aspirational and hard working, their parents are highly supportive and the staff are committed and close-knit. The community is exceptionally strong. Pupils achieve highly both within and outside the classroom and go on to enter many of the world's most competitive universities, including Oxbridge. In each of the last three years, our Upper Sixth leavers have achieved over 70% A*/A grades across all A Levels taken. IGCSE results are also impressive.

Harrow is, though, about much more than simply outstanding academic results. Our pupils excel in a wide range of fields, including music, drama, sport and the arts, as well as involving themselves in service to the local community.

The School is seeking a well-qualified, capable and ambitious Chemistry Teacher to commence in post in August 2024. The post-holder will be expected to teach Chemistry to pupils in Key Stage 3, at IGCSE and at A Level. We are looking for teachers who have a love of teaching, the ability to challenge a wide range of pupil abilities, and who take a real pleasure in the company of children. We are keen to appoint teachers who have been trained and have experience in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada or the US.

Successful applicants can expect a generous salary, a performance-related bonus, accommodation, medical and flight benefits, and an unusual 100% tuition fees remission for up to two dependents. For teachers interested in taking on a leadership responsibility, there are opportunities in both the curriculum and pastoral sides of the school.

Moreover, working within the prestigious AISL Harrow Group of schools, which works closely with Harrow London and is expanding rapidly, will provide an ideal opportunity for career development and promotion, not least through the recently launched AISL Academy for Professional Learning and a wide range of accredited courses through our partnership with UCL.
