Entry Level

Teacher (Overseas Contract) Academic Year 2024-2025

Position Description

The British School of Kuwait (BSK) is recognised widely as Kuwait's premier school. In terms of the quality of educational provision; resourcing; the achievements of its students; the breadth of the curriculum; the extent of its extra-curricular provision; the commitment to continuing professional development and the embedding of technology into the teaching, learning and management of the school, BSK sets standards that very few other schools can match. Above all, it is renowned for the quality of its students and its teachers. All teachers at BSK are adventurous, capable and ambitious and whilst the average length of stay has been increasing, there remain frequent opportunities for colleagues to apply for positions of extra responsibility. Though BSK demands the highest standards of professionalism from its staff it remains an exciting environment in which to build a career in teaching.
