Every parent wants the best for their child — so do we. Nord Anglia schools deliver high quality, transformational education and ensure excellent academic outcomes by going beyond traditional learning. Our global scale enables us to recruit and retain world-leading teachers and to offer unforgettable experiences through global and regional events, while our engaging learning environments ensure all of our students love coming to school. 

About Nord Anglia International School Dublin
Nord Anglia International School Dublin is the first and only IB continuum school in Ireland offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). The school opened in September 2018 and is now one of the fastest growing Nord Anglia Education schools globally. As the school continues to expand, we are seeking to appoint enthusiastic and committed teachers to help us develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succeed.

We have over 45 nationalities represented in the school community, who thrive academically; are committed to achieving their best and who grow with us as true global citizens through our culture of respect, opportunity and personal development. We also have highly supportive parents who engage fully in the life of the school and their children’s education.

The successful candidates will be excellent teachers who provide personalised learning opportunities that inspire our students. They will be effective communicators, who value relationships and will want to participate fully in all aspects of school life as well as the classroom. Amongst other things, they will be well organised, have a good sense of humour and enjoy collaborating as a team.

Our Schools
Each Nord Anglia Education school is unique in character and designed to meet the needs of its community. We are united by our philosophy, to be ambitious for our students, our people, and our family of schools. We believe that being part of our family of schools gives them a special advantage. Working together, we can achieve more than we can individually. Our schools have access to a wide range of resources and support to enhance their success. 

We also create unique opportunities to benefit our students and people, such as the Global Campus, Nord Anglia University, and our collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, UNICEF, and King’s College London.  

Global academic results 
The 2020-2021 school year was the strongest ever in terms of Nord Anglia Education’s academic results. For the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, our students achieved a 36.2 global point average and a 98% pass rate, with over 20 students earning a perfect score of 45. In the A-levels, our students achieved 65.4% of grades at A*-A, along with 83.7% at A*-B, with a group-wide pass rate of 99.4% and seven schools achieving a perfect 100% pass rate. In this year’s I/GCSE results, 59.6% of students achieved A*-A grades, with a group-wide pass rate of 89.5% and 13 Nord Anglia schools achieving a perfect 100% pass rate.

We will expect you to provide effective leadership and management and thereby build and maintain an effective teaching team which continually enhances the quality of learning and achievement. You will create a vision, sense of purpose and pride in supporting additional educational needs and oversee the SEN development plan, its implementation and the part it plays in the whole school development.
