School Counselor

Jet International School

Jet International School requires a qualified School Counselor to join their growing Cambridge Assessment Curriculum.

Jet International School's Mission is to be a beacon of Academic Excellence. Combining an inquisitive teaching approach and future-focused skillset delivery, we work with the community to nurture students to become independent and empathetic learners.

Jet International School's vision is to offer students a first-class international education by being a beacon and exemplar of academic quality. The school uses the Cambridge Assessment Curriculum, Cambridge Standard, as the foundation of its educational program, balanced with a sharp focus on Mongolian literacy, studies, and cultural values. Maintaining this balance is crucial and is likely to define the successful leadership of a school that seeks to meld global-mindedness with an appreciation of Mongolia's cultural heritage.

The main objective of the Jet International School Project is to create a mutually beneficial partnership between the government and the private sector that ensures our aspiration to have 100% of Mongolia Students enrolled in 'Good+' rated schools by 2026.

We recruit the very best international teachers who can deliver our international curricula in a creative, collaborative, and highly engaging manner. Jet International School is committed to inspiring students and helping them to identify and develop their passions and talents.
