The Taaleem family of schools are a truly values-driven organisation and always happy to receive applications from ‘outstanding’ teachers, including KG, Early Years and Primary and Secondary Specialists. We are also looking to hear from experienced professionals interested in joining our support functions within our schools and Central Office.

We recruit the very best international teachers who can deliver our international curricula in a creative, collaborative, and highly engaging manner.

History of Taaleem

The origins of Taaleem began in 2004 when Beacon Education, a school management company was set up to develop and run high quality education projects. Beacon Education was created to meet the need for top-quality schools as the region’s population continues to grow.

Our first schools opened in September 2005 and two years later, His Excellency Nasser Hassan Al-Shaikh, Chairman of the Board of Taaleem, spearheaded a major ongoing investment in Beacon Education by National Bonds, a Dubai-based private joint stock company with around 50% ownership by the Government of Dubai.

Taaleem is the assumed name through which we will continue to deliver our promise to inspire students and help them to identify and develop their passions and talents.
