Our bilingual kindergarten provides an engaging, activity-oriented curriculum in both Chinese and English for children aged 3–6, effectively merging the strengths of Chinese and international educational approaches to lay a robust foundation for Grade 1 and beyond. Through a blend of play, exploration, and creative projects—both indoors and outdoors—children enhance their self-regulation, curiosity, and essential skills across seven learning domains. Each class is co-facilitated by a Chinese teacher alongside an international educator, fostering a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes each child's language development and overall well-being.

The compensation and benefits package for this significant role is aligned with our ambitions. In addition to a highly competitive salary, the package includes premium housing, flights, and medical insurance for the employee and their dependents.

The position will initially be offered on a three-year contract basis, with the possibility of annual renewals thereafter.
