Léman International Academy is seeking to recruit an outstanding trilingual upper-primary teacher (En/Fr/De) on an 80% basis for the 2024-2025 school year, starting as soon as possible after 28 August 2024.
Léman International Academy (LIA) first opened its doors in Geneva in September 2010, in an exceptional setting which is both quiet and close to the city centre.
While Geneva has a number of major international schools, some with several thousand students mainly from the expatriate community, we have chosen to develop a school:
which is inviting to both the local and expatriate communities
which provides a truly bilingual French/English curriculum
which allows for a wide choice of secondary education options
which is grounded in Christian values
which values its “small classes” (15 pupils maximum).
Based on the PER, the Plan d’Études Romand, and the Common Core (USA), our bilingual immersion program includes 50% of the learning time in French and 50% in English.
Our staff is as dynamic as it is diverse, striving for the well-being of each and every one of our students.
LIA is a small but growing school, having recently opened 7th & 8th grades. To support our growth, we are looking for an upper-primary teacher.
