Philosophy
ICS has an employment philosophy for teachers that may be summarised as follows
All teaching staff must be fully qualified and certified by a recognised accredited organisation.
All teaching staff must be fully fluent in English.
A high value is placed on previous successful experience in the classroom, and in particular prior experience with the IB programme.
ICS seeks teachers who are committed to teaching as a career, and who wish to develop their professional skills to the highest possible level.
In return for this commitment, ICS endeavours to provide an environment in which professionalism is valued and recognised, and every possible support is given to teachers to develop and apply their skills.
ICS strives to ensure that the total employment package is among the best available to international school teachers anywhere, and is sufficient to attract and retain the best possible teachers.
All staff at ICS must share an unequivocal commitment to the Mission and Philosophy of the school.
ICS will recruit, without discrimination, the best possible practitioners for each position. Nationality is only an issue if it affects the availability of work permits.
Vacancies are generally identified in December and most of our recruiting is done at the Search Associates recruiting fairs in London and Bangkok. We do occasionally hire at other times, but we would never normally consider a candidate without the opportunity for a personal interview.
