Calling all curious minds who believe science should feel like an adventure not a lecture.

Were a growing inquiry-based internationally accredited American hybrid school on a mission to make learning feel less like a checklist and more like a discovery lab. We serve a wonderfully diverse mix of middle and high school students third-culture kids gifted and neurodivergent learners young entrepreneurs athletes and artists who all share one thing: they learn best when curiosity leads the way.

Here teachers dont just deliver lessons they bring the curriculum to life using their own imagination and creativity to turn standard content into something students actually want to show up for. This role covers general science biology and chemistry across grades 6-12 with most instruction happening online and two in-person lab days a week at our Abu Dhabi learning center. With small class sizes ready-made pacing guides and a curriculum that does the heavy lifting on structure you get to spend your energy on what actually matters: relationships creativity and igniting a love of discovery.

Why This Role Doesnt Feel Like a Typical Teaching Job

Teach across a range of subjects general science biology and chemistry so no two days look the same

Freedom (and encouragement) to reimagine the curriculum in your own voice no two classrooms have to feel the same

In-person science labs twice a week in Abu Dhabi so students get real hands-on test-tube-and-goggles experimentation not just screen time

Virtual labs and simulations that feel like real experiments on your online days

Freedom to test wild new tools simulation apps data-logging gadgets interactive platforms and see what sticks

A team culture that treats "lets try something different" as a compliment not a risk

Teaching & Discovery

Teach middle and high school students (grades 6-12) across general science biology and chemistry

Run live energetic science sessions via Zoom mostly mornings with flexible time for small-group or 1:1 mentoring

Lead in-person labs twice a week at the Abu Dhabi learning center giving students the tactile get-your-hands-dirty science experience that brings concepts to life

Take the schools science curriculum and infuse it with your own imagination and teaching style adapting pace and delivery to fit real students not a script

Guide virtual labs and simulations that let students touch test and question the world on online days

Bring in real-world data digital modeling tools and interactive platforms to fuel investigation and "wait why does that happen" moments

Grade and provide timely feedback across all three subject areas general science biology and chemistry using LMS tools to track engagement and progress

Relationship Building
