IB Middle Years Individuals and Societies Teacher for 2025-26

Join the School of the Future at Ntare Louisenlund International School in Rwanda, Africa!

Ntare Louisenlund International School, located in the beautiful and culturally rich country of Rwanda, is seeking innovative and committed educators to join our dynamic boarding school community. Are you passionate about shaping the future of education by fostering personalized learning, promoting student agency, and equipping learners with twenty-first-century skills? If so, we invite you to apply!

We are looking to fill the following position starting August 2025:

Teacher of Art Programme

This is a full-time role as part of our faculty delivering the IB MYP curriculum.

At Ntare Louisenlund, you will have the opportunity to work in a supportive, forward-thinking environment that values creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity. Our picturesque, state-of-the-art campus provides the ideal setting for both educators and students to thrive.

Join us in Rwanda, a country known for its innovation, breathtaking landscapes, and welcoming culture, to create an educational experience that prepares students for a rapidly changing world, fostering not only academic success but also leadership and lifelong learning.

Note: IB MYP certification is preferred but not required; training opportunities will be provided.

Your Challenge and Responsibilities

You will have the opportunity to guide young people in developing independent personalities, cultivating their talents, and strengthening their intellectual curiosity. With small courses of up to 20 students, you will implement differentiated teaching and learning approaches that meet diverse needs.

Our students, over 80% of whom are scholarship recipients based on national exams, are eager and ready to learn. This means that your role as a guide, mentor, and facilitator is essential. We emphasize flipped classrooms, blended learning environments, collaborative real-world projects, and fostering self-regulation in student learning, rather than traditional direct teaching methods.

In addition to teaching, you will mentor and support students in navigating these innovative learning environments. Our newly constructed, picturesque, state-of-the-art campus offers the perfect setting for educators and learners to thrive.

We are committed to integrating technology into learning, ensuring our students are prepared for the future. Your innovative spirit, creativity, and fresh ideas will play a critical role in shaping the Ntare Louisenlund Pedagogy for the 21st century.

Your Profile:

We are looking for proactive, energetic teachers who are flexible and ready to adapt as we continue to grow as a brand-new school, still in the grassroots phase of our development. Our ideal candidates are individuals who celebrate and believe in the power of diversity, value building relationships, and want to be part of an innovative teaching environment. If you are ready to challenge yourself, bring fresh ideas to the table, and help shape the future of education, we want to hear from you!

Qualifications and Expectations:

• You have a teacher certification and/or experience working as a teacher (preferably in the IB Middle Years Programme or Diploma Programme).
• You are passionate about your subject area and enthusiastic about working together with young people.
• You are interested in shaping the Ntare Louisenlund Pedagogy for the 21st century.

• An exceptional in-house professional development program, including opportunities for IB professional development travel.
• Small learning groups that foster personalized learning and student success.
