Principal

We are seeking to recruit an exceptional Principal for Greenfield International School. This person will be a dynamic and inspirational leader, possessing the intellect, experience and vision to drive further improvement and innovation.

Greenfield International School (GIS), a member of the highly regarded Taaleem group, opened its doors in 2007.  We are fully authorised as an International Baccalaureate Continuum World School and offer the IB Curriculum from Pre Kindergarten through to Grade 12.  The IB is widely regarded as the most prestigious programme of study available and offered in over 5,000 schools across the world. At GIS we are one of a select few IB schools to offer all four IB programmes; Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP) and the Careers Programme (CP).

As a new member of our community, you will immediately notice that we are a true international school, rich with cultural diversity. Our students come from over 80 different countries and we are immensely proud of how they show respect for and celebrate their individual heritage. Through the values of the IB, they also work collaboratively as true global citizens.  On a daily basis they demonstrate to us that they are respectful, open-minded, tolerant and place great value on their education.

As committed IB practitioners, our staff at GIS are experienced international educators and the driving force behind the school’s academic and pastoral success.  Our classrooms are vibrant student-centred environments where inquiry-based approaches are balanced with direct teaching. Our teachers actively strive to encourage children’s natural curiosity and love of learning.  They take great care to support each child’s social and emotional growth.

We also know how important it is to build strong parent-teacher relationships as we recognise what a pivotal role the teacher plays in the child’s life. As a result, we encourage parents to be active participants in school life and we warmly welcome them to be part of our many family events and class activities.

As a mark of quality assurance, GIS is fully accredited by two of the world’s most highly regarded accreditation bodies; the Council of International Schools (CIS) based in Europe and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), based in the USA. Along with the IB authorisation, the CIS and NEASC accreditation offer a guarantee of quality knowing that our school meet or exceed the highest of international standards.

At Taaleem we are proud and privileged to operate some of the leading schools in the UAE, led by outstanding teachers from all over the world. Our schools are located across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, catering to the British, IB and American curricula, so we always look for a diverse and inspiring teaching body who are looking to help educate and develop the future generations.
