Education in paradise We aim to deliver the highest standards of teaching and learning to an international community emphasizing wellbeing and passion on a green, well equipped campus.

The staff turnover each year is low (typically around 10%) and the average length of stay exceeds seven years. This is not because of the beaches and sunshine, although, to be perfectly honest, this does no harm to our recruitment. Many teachers have children at the school. The balance of male to female teachers is almost exactly even throughout the school, including Early Years, and although there is a very healthy age spread from the aged to those who are in their first few years of teaching, it is an exceptionally experienced staff overall. The school has outstanding facilities, and places a great emphasis upon a healthy lifestyle and caring for others. It is a unique place on a tropical island, and we are looking for teachers who will contribute positively, and enhance our culture. Overall we emphasize an education based on learning, wellbeing and passion.

Inspire learning; nurture wellbeing; ignite passion.
