Lower Primary School Intern Teacher

Role Overview

As a classroom teacher with our school, you will take full ownership of a group of young learners — planning and delivering lessons that follow the Competency-Based Curriculum, tracking each child's progress, and shaping a classroom where curiosity, effort and good character are everyday habits. Your work sits at the centre of why families choose us: parents entrust us with their children's earliest school experiences, and the quality of your teaching directly determines how confident, capable and motivated those children become. You will work alongside a collaborative team of educators who plan together, solve problems together and hold each other to a high standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, prepare and teach lessons aligned to the Competency-Based Curriculum, building activities around inquiry and learner-led discovery rather than rote delivery.
• Manage the classroom environment so that routines, expectations and transitions run smoothly, and every learner feels safe, respected and ready to participate.
• Assess and document learner progress continuously, using observation, classwork and formal assessments to identify gaps and adjust teaching accordingly.
• Differentiate instruction and provide targeted support for learners with additional needs, working closely with colleagues and families where extra intervention is required.
• Identify and nurture learners who require Special Educational Needs support, adapting materials and approaches to help them access the curriculum alongside their peers.
• Lead or actively support co-curricular activities — sports, clubs, performances or other school programmes — contributing your own strengths and interests.
• Communicate regularly with parents and guardians about academic progress, behaviour and wellbeing, and represent the school professionally in those conversations.
• Collaborate with fellow teachers on planning, shared resources and school-wide initiatives, and take part in ongoing professional development and mentoring.

• P1 certificate, Diploma, or ECDE certification in education.
• Registered with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
• Trained in and experienced with the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
• Demonstrated passion for education and for working with young children, evidenced by your track record rather than your words alone.
• Strong classroom management skills, with the ability to hold high expectations while keeping the atmosphere warm and child-friendly.
• A firm grounding in inquiry-based, student-centred learning and the ability to translate it into daily practice.
• Team player mentality — comfortable planning in groups, sharing resources and working through challenges collectively.
• Commitment to your own professional growth and a genuine interest in developing the skills of colleagues.
• Active participation in co-curricular activities and willingness to take on a leadership role within them.
• Working computer proficiency for lesson preparation, record-keeping and reporting.
• Flexible and open to change, with a positive attitude and the ability to build warm relationships with children.
• Exposure to Special Educational Needs is an added advantage.
• A committed Christian who is comfortable working within the school's faith-based environment.
