Job description:

Alma Forest School is recruiting a Primary classroom teacher to start in September 2024. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an exciting school in the south of Spain.

The exact age group this teacher will lead is not yet set but is likely to be a Grade 2 class with students beginning the year aged seven.

Alma Forest is a new and growing school currently home to 84 students aged 3-11 with 20+ nationalities represented amongst the student body.

As we grow, we will add one class every year until we reach the end of middle school, age 14.

Our maximum class size is 15 and the maximum enrolment at the school will be 150.

We value discovery over teaching.

Our curriculum explodes boundaries and disciplines so that our students can follow their interests and marvel at all the world has to offer.

Co-creating journeys of discovery with our students lies at the heart of what we do.

Internationally accredited and staffed by experienced educators, we ensure that our students are given ample opportunities to develop academically while embarking on these journeys of discovery.

Small class sizes and an intentionally small school enable us to support each student individually, allowing them to work at a pace suited to their level of maturity and developmental needs.

As a community of learners, we value an open and honest exchange of ideas and build relationships based on a shared humanity, with all its flaws, rather than identities centered around being a 'teacher' or 'student'.

As a tribe, we make Alma Forest a home where we can all come to know ourselves better and develop a life-long love of learning and discovery.

We are looking for an educator who:

• 
  enjoys spending time with children (Would you sit with your students to eat lunch if you did not have to?)

- can be
vulnerable around children, acknowledge their own flaws and admit mistakes
-
loves the outdoors, is able to go on long hikes, can sleep in tents, is comfortable swimming in the ocean and does not mind getting muddy (this is a physically demanding job)
- can interact with children in
non-violent and non-coercive ways
- is
flexible, embraces chances to go off on tangents and is able to follow the interests of their students
- can
laugh at themselves
- is willing to engage with cutting-edge educational philosophy and research
- is a native or near-native speaker of English
- must be
able to work in the EU without a visa

An advantage would be if you:

• have worked in
  progressive or alternative settings before

- have
skills that could support a developing maker community
- are interested in
outdoor pursuits such as foraging, conservation, camping etc.
- can play the theremin
- have experience in
curriculum development

We offer:
- a
collaborative working environment with staff from around the world
- an
opportunity to help develop a new and growing school
- the chance to
play to your strengths as an educator
- continuous
professional development provided by the school and external agencies
- decent weatherAlma Forest School is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
