Job Description:
Tree House Academy is seeking a passionate and experienced educator to teach our Grade 6 and Grade 6+ weekday classes and lead a complementary weekend enrichment program. This is a unique opportunity for a skilled teacher to bring their creativity and professional insight to a curriculum that supports critical thinking, global awareness, and real-world learning.
Our Grade 6+ class builds on core academics and encourages students to dive deeper into debate, reading, and social studies. Topics often include history, geography, and current events. Teachers are given the freedom to shape this program, making it an ideal role for someone excited to design their own curriculum and grow professionally.
The weekend class complements the Grade 6+ program and focuses on essay writing, current events, and community-based learning. Outings, research, and writing assignments help students make meaningful connections between classroom learning and the world around them. Teachers are encouraged to tailor this class to meet students’ needs while aligning with our school’s philosophy.
This position is ideal for someone who has a strong track record of engaging middle school learners and inspiring them to think critically and globally. We are looking for a confident educator who can bring energy, warmth, and purpose to the classroom.
Responsibilities:
- Teach Grade 6 and Grade 6+ weekday classes using a mix of existing materials and teacher-designed curriculum
- Lead a 3-hour weekend enrichment class focused on essay writing, current events, and community outings
- Create a positive and inclusive learning environment that supports inquiry and independence
- Collaborate with fellow teachers to plan and reflect on student learning
- Communicate proactively with parents and colleagues
- Participate in professional development and team meetings
Why Tree House:
Tree House Academy is a progressive school in Taipei focused on whole-child education. We prepare students to be brave, curious, and emotionally intelligent citizens of the world. Our teachers are given the freedom to innovate and the support to grow. If you are looking for a collaborative environment where you can make a meaningful impact, we would love to meet you.
The Tree House programs work with children from infancy through elementary. We believe that education begins with parents and continues with our teachers' ongoing training and development. By working to educate our parents and continually advancing our teachers' skills, we can achieve the results we desire to cultivate our students to be autonomous, self-disciplined individuals equipped to tackle the challenges of the world outside the comfort of home.
With literally hundreds of schools to choose from, educators in Taiwan often expect to find themselves in a position to cherry-pick from the best schools; however, this is rarely the case. All too often, teachers find themselves hopping from school to school in search of an environment where they can pursue their passion for working with children, develop their professional skill set, connect and collaborate with a team, and experience authentic job satisfaction.
One of the most common reasons employees leave their jobs is a lack of career growth. At Tree House, we believe that "the only constant in life changes." We believe in the power of 'forward motion' and maintaining a growth mindset in all aspects of life. As our school continually grows and evolves, we continuously seek new ways to offer our staff opportunities for professional development.
What is it that makes a school succeed? Just as we encourage our students to learn and think outside of the box, we also challenge our teachers to take new and innovative educational approaches. We all know that the work environment can often be a stressful place. Hard work isn't easy; it usually involves sweat and the responsibility needed to deliver results. It requires effective time management while maintaining a positive work culture.
At Tree House, we believe in the power of teamwork, but throwing a group of people together doesn't automatically create a functional team dynamic. We equip our staff with the tools they need to intuitively collaborate while also providing them with the autonomy they seek to develop and innovate. Because at the end of the day, it's teamwork that is the heart and soul of Tree House, and we firmly believe that as Helen Keller once said, "alone, we can do so little; together we can do so much." Plus, it helps that we like each other, too.
Teaching abroad in Taiwan offers an opportunity for teachers to gain international teaching experience, as well as opportunities for exceptional travel. A heavily populated island nation southeast of mainland China, Taiwan is home to 23 million people. Known for IT manufacturing, Taiwan is also home to spectacular sights such as the Taroko Gorge.
