Swedish Teacher/Lärare i Svenska
Do you dream of doing something meaningful that makes a difference?
Welcome to Älmhult kommun - where the opportunities to make a difference in people's everyday life are great! We need committed employees who want to be involved in shaping our municipality going forward. In Älmhult you combine the advantages and charm of the smaller town with a unique international atmosphere. Here it is easy to live and stay and you are close to everything. Good communications also make it easy and convenient to commute.
The International School of Älmhult is a warm, friendly and welcoming school. We are truly international in many senses. There are over 34 different nationalities and backgrounds represented amongst our 380 students. We also strive to employ a diverse community of teachers. This year we can boast teachers coming from more then 24 different countries. We are an IB school, which means that we are progressive and work to develop the skills for the 21st century and prepare our students for an ever-changing world. ISÄ is a member of a newly founded Playful schools leadership network, as a Poineer school, that strives to inspire and to become more playful. In our teacher collaborations the next years focus will be teacher inquiries connected to various learning needs. The school has developed and grown over the past five years, so we now have around 430 students. In 2017, we moved into our new home: a modern and eco-friendly building, with a lot of open space and light. The school is in the town of Älmhult, southern Sweden, which is a safe and convenient place for families to live. IKEA has a strong hold in Älmhult and contributes a lot to our school when it comes to funding but also in other interesting collaborations eg through Kids Lab where students can support in new designs.
