Job overview
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspiring Science teacher both of General Science and as a specialist teacher of Chemistry from April 2025.
In response to evolving educational needs and our shift from the IGCSE course, the department has undergone a transformative overhaul of our KS3 and KS4 science programmes. Transitioning from a standardised to a bespoke curriculum, we have strategically divided the KS4 programme over two years for optimal learning outcomes. In Grade 9, students engage in a comprehensive curriculum covering the three Science courses. The Grade 10 programme, designed to seamlessly progress from Grade 9 to the IB programme, offers three pathways: Pure Science Pathway (rigorous foundation in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics for IB specialisation), Natural Science Pathway (integrates Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Management/Science), and Physical Science Pathway (combines Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science/Applied Physics, exploring interdisciplinary fields).

Founded in 2015, Le Régent is a dynamic and fast-growing Swiss boarding and day school with an international academic programme. Approximately 250 students from Switzerland and around the world are educated in a modern campus in the heart of the Valais Alps in the stunning winter and summer resort of Crans-Montana.
Le Régent is committed to character education and demanding educational principles. Class sizes are small, language options strong and most graduates speak at least two languages fluently. Le Régent follows a rigorous academic programme in English in preparation for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and for its own diploma, the Régent Graduation Diploma (RGD).
In addition to academics, we nurture each student’s unique talents through diverse extracurricular programmes, including sports, arts, music and mountain activities. Understanding who our students are today is paramount but equally important is empowering them to envision their future selves and their potential to impact the world around them positively. This shared commitment to student wellbeing and development lies at the heart of our mission.
Le Régent is an Eco-School, a CIS member, and an official examination centre for the IB Diploma Programme, DELF, SATs, IELTS and Edexcel IGCSEs.
