EY Homeroom Teacher

Overview: Our Early Years Department is equipped with a range of superlative facilities that we encourage our teachers to use for the benefit of the children. The curriculum is heavily influenced by both the International Baccalaureate and Reggio Emilia approaches. Teachers who are familiar with these styles will appreciate our teaching method, but they’ll need to embrace the specific pedagogy that the school follows. Many children will have limited English skills before enrolling in the school, so we’ll focus on helping them become familiar with the language.
