Job overview

Where will your teaching experience take you next?

  • The opportunity to teach an Aesthetics course for the IB Diploma Programme (either Art or Music)
  • Working with enthusiastic and motivated Chinese students (age 15-18)
  • Engaging in high quality educational practice in one of the fastest growing sectors globally
  • Joining a network of educators with a focus on collaboration, support and career development

Dipont Education manages international curricula centres within some of the most highly regarded public high schools in China, currently employing over 350 expatriate educators and with over 6,000 students on roll. We manage 12 schools delivering A level, 12 schools delivering Advanced Placement courses and 6 IB World Schools in a range of locations across China.

Teaching with Dipont in China
Our IB Diploma Programme operating in Shanghai requires a teacher for the aesthetics element of the programme. This post can accommodate either an Art or Music specialist according to the specialism of the successful candidate. Both the Art and Music departments have been successfully established and the new appointee will further develop the provision of either subject within the centre.

In being part of a large network, employees have the opportunity to transfer to other locations or programmes during their course of employment.  In addition, we are actively focused on providing internal career development opportunities, with the potential to move into curricula or centre management roles. We provide workshops and support internally and access to external training. Salary levels are very competitive with a benefits package that includes accommodation allowance, annual return airfare and worldwide medical cover.

Our students
A high number of students enter Dipont centres with the aim to study in some of the top universities in the West, and therefore teachers can enjoy working with some exceptionally motivated students without the behavior management issues often experienced in other teaching posts. A number of our students achieve some of the highest examination results globally and go on to attend some of the best universities in the world. As China settles into its role as the economic powerhouse of the 21st century, a teaching position with Dipont provides a platform to work with a generation of young Chinese talent eager to take advantage of every opportunity available to them. Delivering arts based courses also provides an opportunity to work with students who have not necessarily had the opportunity previously to extend their creative ability in an academic setting. 

Applications are invited from:  

  • Highly skilled educators with the ability to engage and stretch high performing students.
  • A recognised teaching qualification and experience teaching the subject at post 16 level.
  • A track record of excellent teaching with well developed subject knowledge.
  • Previous experience of the IB Diploma Programme is advantageous but not required.

Early application preferred. In order to apply, please email your resume/CV to: teachers@dipont-edu.org or for further information please email us directly or visit our website at www.dipont-edu.org.
