With the growing number of international families moving to Boden, we have decided to match this demand with opening an International Education Program with internationally trained and experienced teachers to provide the children with a high-quality worldwide curriculum that is transferable and recognized universally.
International School of Boden is a Candidate School* for the Primary Years Programme, PYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy-a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that [School Name] believes is important for our students.

WORK TASKS
The PYP offers an inquiry-based, transdisciplinary curriculum framework that builds conceptual understanding. It emphasizes on nurturing children to be caring, global citizens who are active participants of a lifelong learning journey. It is a studentcentered approach to education for children in the age of 6 to 12 years. The International School of Boden is seeking an energetic, outgoing and collaborative teacher who shares a commitment to inquiry and concept-based teaching and learning. As an IB PYP teacher you plan, deliver and assess according to the IB curriculum and framework. You would be involved in creating a good learning environment for all our students together with your colleagues in the work team. There is an on-going expectation to develop the early years program in accordance with the Enhanced PYP expectations. The PYP teacher is part of the PYP team with a high emphasis on collaborative planning and learning. The PYP teacher position requires organizational skills, flexibility and open-mindedness. All documentation and communication at ISB is carried out in English. As a new school, ISB is in a period of growth and development, opening up the opportunity for enthusiastic and passionate educators to join our small team of hard-working and caring teachers.
As a teacher at our international school F-6 you will teach as a class teacher in English. You will have the opportunity to work in a team with teachers who have experience of schools from all over the world, and communication, planning and systematic quality work will be done in English. Our international school is small but growing all the time so we are looking for you who are flexible and solution-focused. You are eager for something new and willing to work together with your like-minded colleagues to continue to further develop the business. As our school is a candidate school for IB, it is advantageous to have experience from IB but not a requirement.
