Beijing, China: Science / Computer Science Openings (Full-Time High School Positions) [August 2019]

About the Job

Overview

Program: 
BEIJING: Beginning in mid-August 2019, we will be launching a 2+1 Sino-US high school bridge program in a new high school on the eastern side of Beijing, close to the East 5th Ring Road. The students spend half the day taking their Chinese high school classes and the other half taking their English classes in the different skill areas (reading, writing, and listening & speaking), as well as taking AP, SAT, TOEFL, and other courses.

In addition to the aforementioned courses, we anticipate opening one or more science or computer science courses, and we are currently hiring for teachers who have experience teaching in these fields.

The students are high schoolers who are on an international track. They will be doing their final year of high school at one of three partner universities in the United States, during which time they will research and apply to US colleges.

Position: 
This is a full-time (40 hours/week) position with daytime working hours, with teachers expected to teach around 15-18 hours per week (each class period is 40 minutes long). Teachers will prepare daily lesson plans, instruct students, assess student progress and provide feedback to various parties, collaborate with staff and other teachers, contribute to the curriculum and library of teaching materials, and participate in occasional weekend events.

Benefits: 
In addition to competitive pay (~17,000RMB/month), teachers will receive free housing in the teacher’s dormitory. Other benefits include: Chinese health insurance and work visa, one round-trip ticket between the US and China per year, two-three weeks of paid winter vacation, four weeks of paid summer vacation, and paid time off for some Chinese and US public holidays.

We are a fast-growing and entrepreneurial organization with existing programs in other Chinese cities, and opportunities exist for advancement within the organization for teachers who are motivated, conscientious, and willing to learn.

As this is a new program in a new school, there will be both challenges and opportunities. If you’re able to roll with the punches and enjoy being part of something new that is being created, then this could be a great fit for you.

Contract length is negotiable but will ideally be two years. Start date is mid-August, 2019.
