About This Role
Aldar Education is looking for an exceptional Teacher of Mathematics (Secondary School) to become part of Muna British Academy in Abu Dhabi, starting in the academic year 2026–2027.
Since our inception in 2009, we have established a robust reputation for excellence, consistently earning an “Outstanding” ADEK rating since 2015. In August 2025, Muna British Academy transitioned to a cutting-edge campus located in the prestigious Saadiyat Lagoons community. This relocation has allowed us to enhance our offerings—currently serving students from FS1 to Year 8, with plans to extend through Year 13 soon—within an inspiring environment that aligns with our mission of providing exceptional education.
Our new facilities are designed to encourage academic excellence, creativity, and personal development. This move signifies an exciting new phase in our journey and presents an unparalleled opportunity for our community to flourish in a premier educational environment.
As we continue to grow our secondary year groups in the upcoming academic year, this is an excellent chance to join the successful Aldar family of schools and play a role in shaping the future of Abu Dhabi’s leading educational group.
Ideal candidates will resonate with our core values and ethos and will possess a genuine understanding and appreciation of the region's culture and values.
