We are seeking a creative and forward-thinking MYP Design Teacher to join our dynamic, boarding school community. If you're passionate about guiding students through hands-on learning, problem-solving, and ethical innovation, we’d love to hear from you!

This is a full-time position teaching MYP Design within the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP).

As an MYP Design Teacher, you will:

• Differentiated, student-centered learning strategies
• Flipped and blended classroom approaches

You will also mentor students in:

Majority of our students are highly motivated scholarship recipients selected through national exams—making your role as a mentor, innovator, and guide truly transformative.

We are looking for educators who:

• Are dynamic, flexible, and solutions-oriented
• Value the power of diversity, equity, and student agency
• Thrive in a startup school environment with room to shape culture and curriculum
• Embrace STEM integration, global learning, and inquiry-based pedagogy

• Certified teacher with relevant teaching experience (IB MYP or DP preferred)
• Background in Product Design, Engineering, Computer Science, Technology, or Maker Education
• Strong skills in CAD, digital design, or fabrication tools (e.g., 3D printing, laser cutting)
• Fluency in English and confident instructional use of digital platforms
• Passion for mentoring young innovators and change-makers
• Commitment to ongoing professional development and collaborative growth

• A purpose-built, future-focused campus in one of Africa’s most vibrant and visionary countries
• Ongoing professional development, including IB certification training
