MYP Coordinator

ACS International Schools is looking for an MYP Coordinator to join the team at ACS Egham.

The main purpose of this role is to develop, maintain and plan the implementation of changes to the MYP to ensure that teachers are well trained and that the school achieves high standards of academic excellence.

We’ve been teaching the IB at ACS for over fifty years, and our experience means we know how best to teach it. We know it gets results - and that’s why we offer the IB as our sole offering, orienting the entire school around its optimal delivery.
