Our Teachers
We have been as thoughtful in our recruitment of teaching staff as we have been in designing the learning environment, receiving over 200 applications from teachers across the globe to work with us from September 2025.
Our primary priority has been to identify people who genuinely love working with children, who understand the purpose and joy of teaching, and who have the heart and the tolerance to relate with children on a human level. We have already been able to attract some very talented people to our school. Excellent teachers are really interested – drawn to the quality of our project and our vision for the growth of the school.
