IBDP French and PYP Spanish Teacher

Are you a passionate linguist ready to shape the next generation of global citizens? ACS International School Egham, the UK's first and longest-established IB World School, is looking for an exceptional teacher of IBDP and MYP French, with the ability to teach PYP Spanish, to join our thriving community from August 2026.

With over 50 nationalities represented on campus, our school is a genuinely global community in every sense. Small class sizes mean you'll know every student by name, tailor your teaching to each individual, and see the real difference your work makes, day in, day out.

We're not simply looking for an IB expert, we're looking for the right person. If you're curious, collaborative, and committed to nurturing the whole learner, we'll support you every step of the way. Prior IB experience is a welcome bonus, but it's your mindset that matters most. You'll work alongside experienced IB practitioners and global education specialists who share your passion for meaningful, international learning.

Our Egham campus sits in the beautiful Surrey countryside, moments from the M25, Heathrow Airport, and central London, making it one of the most accessible international school settings in the UK. A competitive package reflects both the calibre of our school and the quality of candidate we seek.
