Job Description:

Spectrum International School (SIS) is a non-profit private school operating under the umbrella of the International Social Foundation BILIM ORDA which runs a network of private schools in Kazakhstan. We cater to a range of local and international students residing in Astana, the new vibrant capital of Kazakhstan.

The School has a purpose-built building that is situated in the newly erected part of the city and offers its students excellent modern facilities for learning and recreation. The curriculum in Primary and Secondary follows Cambridge International Programmes including Cambridge Primary, Secondary 1 & 2, and Advanced Level. The curriculum is also enriched with very few local subjects such as the Kazakh language, History & Geography of Kazakhstan to meet the needs of our local students. As part of external assessment, our students sit a set of Cambridge International examinations, namely Cambridge Primary and Secondary Checkpoints, Cambridge IGCSE, and Cambridge International AS/A Levels.

We are an accredited member of the Council of International Schools (CIS), a registered center for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) as well as Cambridge Assessment English.

We would like to recruit passionate, dedicated, and experienced primary teachers for our expanding primary school.

Candidates are expected to possess a commitment to creating and managing a caring, supportive, purposeful, and stimulating learning environment which is conducive to children’s learning. Candidates should also be able to easily adapt to new cultures and environments.

The majority of our students are local nationals, for whom English is not their First Language. We have a diverse student body with fluent English-speaking local nationals and expatriates and our student population continues to grow each year.
