Teach at International Community School

  Singapore

Description: All NICS schools are accredited by accrediting associations in the States. Therefore, our schools use American curriculum and follow the American calendar. We use a variety of American-based curricula. Each of the NICS schools has an administrator and curriculum committee that determines the best curriculum and resources for their school. Just like schools in the United States, the amount of resources depends on the size of the school.

We prefer teachers who have classroom experience, at the minimum: student teaching. While most mission organizations require a teacher to have at least two years experience, NICS is willing to invest the time and effort to help you get that experience. In return, we get energetic teachers with a teachable spirit and a willingness to learn. Final decisions regarding staff placement are made by the school's administrator.

Salary depends on the school and the location. NICS has three basic types of schools, Pioneer (Start up), Transitional (Becoming an International school) and International (Established). While each school has different positive aspects that make it unique, the Pioneer and Transitional may require the raising of some support and the International schools will provide a salary. The salary is one that will allow you to live comfortably in that country. By comfortable we mean able to cover all living expenses (Apartment, utilities, clothing, food and able to go out to eat a couple of times each week and still be able to save enough money to come home for Christmas or travel during the summer break).

Highlights: We are the only Christian international school in Singapore. The fact that ICS is a Christian school affects every area of your child's education in a positive way. The teachers view each child as a unique individual created by God, and thus seek to understand and love each one. They take seriously their responsibility to teach, encourage, and, when needed, admonish.

Since we are a Christian school, our policy is to hire only dedicated Christians who love the Lord Jesus with all their heart, soul, and mind. They must wholeheartedly endorse and embrace the principles forming our Foundation, including our Mission, Philosophy, Objectives, and Statement of Faith. Essential character qualities include a love for Jesus and a desire to share Him with others, a caring concern for children, an ability to teach well, a servant's heart, diligence, and a lot of patience and flexibility.
