Job overview
St Denis International School in the Loire Valley is seeking to recruit a qualified teacher of Maths for August 2015.
We are eager to expand our international dimension by offering Maths in English however due to the constraints of the French programme some lessons must also be taught in French. Thus, the ideal candidate will need to be fluent in both French and English in order to deliver the French National Maths Curriculum in both languages.
We already have a large European Section and a growing International Section at St Denis. In our European Section, students take History-Geography lessons in English. The International Section takes this one step further through English Literature classes offered to AS Level alongside normal French language based subjects. Maths would be taught in both these sections to further develop the English language experience of our students.
The successful applicant will work alongside our existing international and French team. A willingness to offer IGCSE and A Level Maths to suitable students and offer another subject such as Computer Programming would be favourably viewed.
The bulk of the salary will be paid by the French State and supplemented by the school, thus applicants must have a minimum of a BSc in a clearly relevant scientific subject. We can only consider candidates from the EU.
Benefits include: Induction week before start of school year, free on-site accommodation suitable for one person, free meals during the school week, laptop. Total contact time will be 21hrs per week. The salary is 1800€ (brut) per month.
This post would best suit either a recently qualified teacher who is passionate about coming to live and work in France or a more experienced, flexible teacher who understands the expectations of the French educational system.
Please send one cover letter and C.V. in French and one in English with the contact details of at least two professional referees to Miss Kristia Grandison, International Section Coordinator, kgrandison@saint-denis.net

St Denis, established in 1858, is a private school with a Catholic ethos, under contract to the French State, situated in the town of Loches approximately half an hour south of Tours in the UNESCO recognized Loire Valley with 750 students on roll. The school is well placed for accessing Tours Val de Loire airport, which has direct flights to a numerous destinations across Europe including London Stansted.
We follow the French National Program leading to the French Baccalaureate for students in both General and technical streams. Native and fluent English speaking students can join our International Section (O.I.B). The O.I.B. involves taking History-Geography entirely in English together with English Literature and accounts for 25% of the final Baccalaureate result. St Denis also has an extensive European Section for intermediate English level learners who study part of the History-Geography curriculum in English, and the remainder in French.
As a longstanding TOEIC, TOEFL and Cambridge Assessment International Education Centre we also offer a range of English language qualifications to our students to give them the best possible start possible after school.
St Denis benefits from a wide cultural mix of both students and staff since we actively recruit from around the world. Students are attracted by our established and officially approved (Label FLE) French as a foreign language teaching department which allows them to integrate smoothly into French school life.
Academic excellence is as important as developing personnel skills. We strongly encourage our students to become autonomous learners and to participate in school life through giving them positions of responsibility in a variety of extra-curricular pursuits such as in our Student Office, as one of our Student Captains, organizing our annual International Festival of Arts and Science, participating in regular exchange trips and attending Model European Parliament sessions around the continent.
