Teacher of English

Teacher of English

Open Sky International is on the lookout for a committed English teacher to become part of our secondary school in Boulogne-Billancourt, located just outside of Paris.

About Our School

Open Sky International is a private bilingual institution providing education in both French and English. Founded in 2012, we serve students from early years through to Terminale (Year 13 in the British system). Our upper school learners engage in a combination of GCSE, IGCSE, International A Level, and A Level examinations. All students benefit from a bilingual curriculum, with around half of their lessons delivered in French and the other half in English.

We are dedicated to offering a top-notch bilingual education, incorporating the finest aspects of various international curricula and teaching methods. Our commitment to excellence starts early, aiming for a curriculum that is stimulating, thorough, and engaging. Our small class sizes encourage a respectful, hardworking, and motivated student community. As a genuinely international school, we cater to both French and expatriate families, celebrating our rich diversity. Our educators, passionate about teaching, are well-versed in effective instructional practices.

English is a fundamental subject in our secondary program, with Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Language and Literature offered in Year 11, and A Level English Language and Literature available as options in the sixth form.

The Position

We are seeking a qualified teacher of English Language and Literature, with the ability to teach at the A Level. The specific timetable and subject assignments will be tailored to the strengths, skills, and experience of the selected candidate, as well as the requirements of our students and the curriculum for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Moreover, the successful candidate will need to participate in our after-school programme.

What Kind of Teacher Are We Looking For?

We desire a qualified and experienced teacher with a minimum of five years in a relevant role who:

• Is a native English speaker familiar with the English curriculum and qualification framework.
• Has a background in teaching English Language and Literature at both GCSE and A Level.
• Holds a good honours degree and has qualified teacher status.
• Is an inspiring educator capable of energizing and motivating their classes.
• Shows enthusiasm for education and a strong understanding of effective teaching strategies.
• Possesses extensive curriculum knowledge and can teach their subject with confidence.
• Appreciates teamwork and seeks collaborative opportunities.

While proficiency in French is beneficial, it is not mandatory. The school offers private tutoring for teachers wishing to enhance their French language skills. As a bilingual institution, all teachers are expected to communicate in French.

Priority will be given to candidates with existing rights to work within the European Union.
