Work for a team to ensure curriculum standards are properly followed and ensure that the curriculum itself is increasingly aligned with our framework and vision.

‏‏‎Key Accountability (Main Purpose of this Job)

The curriculum team member will play a vital role in shaping and enhancing our educational offerings from Kindergarten to Form 6, with a particular focus on secondary education (Form 3-Form 6). This position involves actively seeking to understand the vision of the School and how it impacts the curriculum, while also ensuring compliance with various local and international requirements. The role supports curriculum development, implementation, and assessment processes across the school, ensuring coherence across grade levels and fostering continuous improvement through audits and professional development.

‏‏‎Work Context

The ultimate aim of the school, including our curriculum, is to produce students who hold themselves to high moral and personal standards, are committed to improving themselves and serving society, and thoroughly develop their intellectual, social, spiritual and physical potential. To maximize their contributions the curriculum team member is expected to be familiar with with international best practices around curricula and to systematically deepen their understanding of our Bahá’í-inspired framework. Flexibility in approach and operating with a humble posture of learning hold particular importance for this role.

This is not a leadership position, nor a stepping stone into one, rather an opportunity to meaningfully serve the teachers and students in matters related to curriculum. The role requires listening and learning from others, fostering collaboration, and unhesitatingly taking on tasks and leading initiatives. Success necessitates a genuine passion to increasingly understand and diligently apply the school’s distinctive vision; a collective approach that displaces individual interests and ambitions. Apply to join our expanding Curriculum team should you desire to embrace our values and approach.
