ABOUT THE POSITION
History isn’t just about the past—it’s the key to understanding today’s world. From ancient civilisations to modern geopolitics, it challenges students to think critically, question perspectives, and connect the dots between past and present. As a full-time Teacher of History at Beau Soleil, you’ll inspire curiosity, spark debate, and bring history to life in a way that shapes young minds for the future.
Whether introducing foundational skills in the Middle Years Programme (MYP) or guiding students through independent historical inquiry at the IB Diploma (IBDP) level, you will foster analytical thinking, research skills, and a deep appreciation for historical narratives. Your expertise will encourage students to engage with complex sources, challenge interpretations, and develop their own informed perspectives.
Passionate about history and experienced in the IBDP curriculum, you thrive in a diverse learning environment, know how to challenge students intellectually, and create meaningful connections with both the subject and the world around them. At Beau Soleil, learning extends far beyond textbooks. Whether leading discussions, mentoring students, or joining in unforgettable outdoor challenges like climbing 4,000m peaks or ski racing under the stars, you’ll be part of a school that turns education into an adventure.
Join us and ignite a lifelong love for history—where every lesson is an opportunity to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and make a lasting impact.
