YIS Mandalay (a campus of YIS Yangon) is an ISS-managed school and is WASC accredited. (International Schools Services is a non-profit based in Princeton, NJ.) We use the US common core curriculum and the language of instruction is English. The principal and classroom teachers are all international with support from local specialist teachers and teaching assistants. YIS Mandalay has a 5-year-old, state-of-the-art campus that includes spacious, well-equipped classrooms, a modern 370-seat theater, a 25m pool, a large air-conditioned gym, and lots of beautiful common spaces. We also have a new apartment building for teachers close to the school. We have openings in Kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, and grade 6 English/social studies. Initial contracts are for 2 years and include an annual tax-free salary paid in USD, fully furnished apartments (not shared), annual flight allowance, and international health insurance (TIECare). The cost of living in Myanmar is very low with potential savings of $20,000 or more annually.
**All teachers must hold a university degree and teaching certification.
Founded in 2004, YIS is an international education leader in Myanmar. In addition to the original YIS in Yangon, we also offer the same outstanding programs at YIS Mandalay. Our mission is to foster the development of the whole child, who is a participating global citizen and lifelong learner: one who is academically well-prepared, socially responsible, culturally sensitive, and personally fulfilled. This is accomplished through a well-rounded American / international curriculum, with extensive offerings in all subjects including technology, music, and visual arts, athletics, a wide range of extracurricular activities, and a comprehensive Myanmar Studies language and culture program. As an internationally accredited (WASC) school offering the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, YIS graduates are consistently admitted to the best-fitting and most respected universities in the world. Additionally, YIS is supported by International Schools Services, a non-profit organization located in Princeton, New Jersey that is dedicated to managing student-centered, future-oriented, global citizenship-minded schools, students, and communities.
At the heart of any great school is its faculty. YIS teachers and administrators are highly experienced and qualified professionals who are focused on the extraordinary care and purposeful growth of each child. We are committed to ensuring that YIS students not only receive a world-class education but that their lives will be transformed through the experiences they have here at YIS.
Vision:
YIS prepares students for higher levels of learning and to be responsible global citizens.
Mission:
YIS is a network of college preparatory schools that seeks to foster the development of the whole child, who is a participating global citizen and lifelong learner: one who is academically well-prepared, socially responsible, culturally sensitive, and personally fulfilled.
Myanmar’s charm lies in exploring the largely unseen. Teachers seeking the spiritual and serene will find no shortage of historical sites, temples, and pagodas. Teach in Myanmar and blaze a trail rich with new discoveries.
