About Cognita
At Cognita, we know every student is unique. We nurture their distinct personalities and strengths. We support them academically, socially, and emotionally, wherever they are in the world, wherever they’re starting from. And each and every one of our schools is unique too.

We protect what’s special about them, while offering them rich knowledge, opportunities, and best practices. And they get to be part of something bigger. We open their classrooms to the collective wisdom of over 100 schools in 16 countries, ensuring every child gets an education that’s, quite literally, world class. It’s an individual approach that empowers every school, teacher and student to focus on what they do best. And thrive.

About the role
The Dutch Stream at St. Andrews is a fully integrated division of the school. It is not viewed as a separate entity or an add on. Dutch lessons are offered during the normal timetable of lessons to all ages from Nursery (2.5 years) to IBDP level (18 years). These lessons follow the Dutch curriculum and where appropriate CnaVT and IBDP examinations.

The stream is staffed by two teachers who, between them, cover the entire age range. At present, approximately 20 students are enrolled in the stream. The two teachers run the department together and are therefore responsible for the overall organization and performance of the stream. This includes monitoring and reporting on; the curriculum, standards achieved, budget and resourcing, accreditations and inspections. Our Dutch teachers have the same expectations as any other teacher in the school and are expected to fully involve themselves wherever possible, including extra-curricular activities and field trips etc. More information about the Dutch Stream can be found in our school guide, which is available on request.

Who we are looking for:
We are looking for a passionate, open minded and inspiring primary teacher, who has similar educational beliefs of the school. The school is a forward thinking and creative place to work; it isn’t textbook driven in a traditional manner. The teacher should be willing to reflect on her/his teaching to ensure it best meets the needs of the students and the flavour of the school. We are looking for a primary teacher who is willing to teach small groups and one-on-one lessons to first and second language learners. Flexibility is needed in the ages taught; between the two teachers we need to be able to cover the full range of Primary (including Nursery / Reception) and (lower)Secondary curriculum. Experience of an International school setting, teaching PYP and/or project-based learning is preferably but not essential. You will need to be fully qualified to teach in your home country for us to be able to obtain you a teaching license and work permit here in Thailand. Ability and interest to teach outside of the Dutch stream (EAL, French) could also be an asset.
