Silicon Valley International School [INTL] seeks variable-hour substitute teachers for its elementary, middle, and early years programs, beginning immediately. We seek substitute teachers who are native speakers and literate in French, Mandarin, German, or English.
Our school offers three bilingual programs in Chinese, French, and German, along with an Upper School Language Acquisition program (USLA) for students with no prior immersion experience. Silicon Valley International School's instructors do not just teach students an additional language; they also impart the skills to become agile, responsive, and global thinkers. Moreover, we strengthen our language programs through the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, which codifies our structured inquiry pedagogy. By offering such a unique learning environment, we cultivate international leadership skills in our students, encouraging them to lead lives worthy of their boundless futures.
All employees must demonstrate commitment to INTL's mission and the population we serve and be experienced with teaching at the grade school level. They must also be responsible, self-motivated, friendly, willing to work with a team of colleagues, and accepting and adaptable to a working environment with different cultures.
INTL is committed to Equal Opportunity Employment. Please see our policy on the main Employment page.
