Location Overview: Bangkok is a city of contrasts with action at every turn - marvel at the gleaming temples, catch a tuk tuk along the bustling Chinatown or take a longtail boat through floating markets. Luxury malls compete with a sea of boutiques and markets, where you can treat yourself without overspending. Food is another Bangkok highlight, from local dishes served at humble street stalls to haute cuisine at rooftop restaurants. It is the dictionary definition of a melting pot and is a fantastic location in which to live and work with all that South East Asia has to offer on its doorstep.

The school prides itself on employing teachers from a wide range of nationalities, highlighting the importance of diversity and global understanding within the community. This is a fairly small school and it seeks collaborative team players who appreciate a community feel and are willing to learn. As a school, they value specific qualities in their educators, including respect for self and others, open-mindedness, comfort with ambiguity, a passion for learning and an interest in collaboration. They believe teaching demands thoughtfulness, attentiveness, a reflective attitude, a willingness to see things differently and in turn, to continually challenge the way things are.
