Lower School Music Teacher

Welcome to Harrow Shanghai! We are a leading international school offering a high-quality British curriculum, situated in one of the world's most vibrant cities.

Our institution provides a comprehensive British international education from Early Years through to Upper Sixth, housed in a modern campus just 35 minutes away from the city's heart. Shanghai boasts a dynamic lifestyle with an exhilarating atmosphere that energizes both residents and visitors.

Established in September 2016, our school has rapidly ascended to become one of China's premier international institutions. Our students are motivated, ambitious, and diligent, supported by their highly engaged parents and a dedicated, close-knit faculty. The strength of our community is unparalleled, with students excelling academically and in extracurricular pursuits, leading them to enroll in some of the most competitive universities globally, including Oxbridge. Over the past four years, our Upper Sixth students have averaged nearly 75% A*/A grades across all A Levels, with impressive IGCSE results and significant progress among our younger learners.

However, Harrow’s ethos extends beyond exceptional academic achievement. Our students shine in diverse areas such as music, drama, sports, and the arts, while also actively participating in community service.

We are looking for an outstanding Lower School Music Teacher to join us in August 2026. This exciting role involves contributing to a thriving music program, which has seen remarkable development over the last five years. Our school features an exceptional orchestra that continues to grow, alongside a Band program, various chamber groups, an expanding rock group initiative, a vibrant choir program, and much more. More than half of our students play musical instruments, with the majority participating in school music activities. Last year, we organized a spectacular concert at the Shanghai Symphony Hall, showcasing the talents of nine Harrow schools and leaving us all inspired and in awe.

The ideal candidate will also be a remarkable educator! At our school, every teacher, including the Head Master, holds a timetable, and we seek individuals who possess a passion for teaching, the capability to engage students with varying abilities, and who genuinely enjoy working with children.

Successful candidates can anticipate a competitive salary, a performance-related bonus, accommodation, medical and flight benefits, and full tuition fee remission for up to two children.
