• Apply by 24th April 2024
• Job starts August 2024

Aster International School Bangkok opened in August 2022 with the mission to bring the best of a British-style international education to a beautiful campus in the heart of Bangkok. We are now recruiting new Secondary teachers for our expanding Secondary school, which will be moving into new facilities in August 2024.

We are looking for energetic, innovative and enthusiastic professionals who want to join a rapidly growing school. Aster International School Bangkok is a British-style international school, teaching an enhanced version of the ENC in a modern and purpose-built environment. Our teachers must be prepared to be leaders and learners as we collaborate to create a unique school environment and approach to curriculum delivery. 

The Secondary phase at Aster International School Bangkok is a fun and lively environment to work in. We are looking for a fully qualified teacher to take on the role of KS3 Project Teacher. This will involve teaching areas of the British Curriculum to either Year 7 or Year 8 students in a project-based/theme style, where different subjects are combined. It is expected that about 50% of the Year 7 or Year 8 curriculum will be taught by the role, combining subjects such as English, History and Geography (or other combinations), and really giving students an appreciation of real-life learning.

Aster International School Bangkok is located in the heart of Bangkok, in the Sathorn district. The school is positioned to give easy access to Sathorn, Silom, Sukhumvit and also the riverside area. We have modern and purpose-built facilities that suit mid-twenty-first-century learning needs. The school has specialist teaching areas for languages, Science, art, music, PE and ICT, as well as an auditorium and extensive garden space. The classrooms are large and well-equipped. To find out a little more please see our website.

Bangkok is an exciting city to live in and Thailand is a wonderful host for international teachers. The city offers a lifestyle where modern living and traditional Thai culture mix seamlessly. Bangkok is also the gateway to the amazing islands and beaches that Thailand is known for, as well as a hub for transport in Southeast Asia, making long-haul and short-haul travel easy and convenient. 

We will be building our school around our Wisdom Values:

• Wise – We use what we learn in a positive and purposeful way
• Intercultural – We celebrate our similarities and differences
• Service – We support, help and care for those around us
• Decision Makers – We are critical thinkers and do not rush to judgement
• Open-Minded – We respect each other and are willing to consider new ideas
• Movement – We are active learners and learn through doing
