ROLE SUMMARY:

St. Louise School, for its Caviglia campus in Milan, is currently seeking an Primary Years Teacher for a maternity cover starting from January 2027.

Ideally, we are seeking someone with previous experience of the IB PYP curriculum, but we are flexible to applicants from other curricula who are committed to high standards and innovative approaches to learning.

Indicative salary starting from €30,000.
We assess each candidate individually, and the final offer will reflect professional experience, level of expertise, market positioning and the value brought to the role.

Caviglia Campus welcomes 2 to 14-year-olds into an inspiring learning environment in the south of Milan. The campus provides a friendly, caring, nurturing international setting for more than 500 students, who represent a diverse and vibrant community of 50 nationalities.

At Caviglia Campus, education is of the highest standard. Teachers deliver first-class academic provision and excellent pastoral support to children enrolled in our Early Years, Primary School and Middle School programmes.

We have developed a reputation for offering high-quality education at Caviglia Campus. For over 20 years, our dedicated team of highly-skilled staff have demonstrated excellent results and teach a rigorous curriculum through an effective, personalised approach.

Caviglia Campus was renovated in 2018. It offers a modern and spacious learning environment for children in Early Years, Primary School and Lower Secondary School.

In addition to designing a newly-constructed outdoor area, we have restyled the Kindergarten facilities to enhance our early years educational provision and give 2 to 5 year-olds a vibrant setting to learn, play and grow.
