Secondary School Teacher of English

About Our School

Atlanta International School (AIS) is a 3K to Grade 12 IB World School that brings together students, educators, and families from more than ninety countries. Guided by our three pillars of the IB Continuum, Intercultural Understanding, and Language Learning, AIS offers a globally minded, inquiry-driven education that prepares students to lead with purpose and integrity.

Our Buckhead Campus is an urban learning environment in the heart of Atlanta, giving students access to the cultural, academic, and professional opportunities of a major international city. Museums, universities, arts institutions, and civic organizations serve as extensions of our classrooms.

Our Sandy Springs Campus sits on twenty four wooded acres along the Chattahoochee River and is home to the Mouratoglou Atlanta Academy tennis program. This nature-rich setting provides space for outdoor learning, partnerships, and unique student experiences.

Across both campuses, AIS delivers a unified curriculum through the full IB continuum. Students pursue multiple pathways to graduation, including the IB Diploma Programme, the IB Careers-related Programme, AISx flexible pathways, and the AIS Impact Diploma. Within our diverse and multilingual community, students grow as critical thinkers, collaborators, and compassionate leaders who make a meaningful impact in the world.

Our school is committed to the safety and well-being of every child. We maintain rigorous safeguarding practices to ensure a secure, supportive, and nurturing environment where all students can thrive.

AIS teachers inspire students from diverse backgrounds to become courageous leaders in a culturally responsive and restorative learning environment. We are a team of innovative educators dedicated to creating inquiry-based lessons that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. At AIS, teachers ignite and sustain student curiosity by co-creating meaningful learning experiences that encourage students to apply their knowledge and skills for positive impact.

As part of the Buckhead Campus team, you’ll work with students in a 3K12 urban school setting with incredible experiential learning opportunities in Atlanta.

Teachers at the Buckhead Campus benefit from strong support within a unified, dual-campus structure, working closely with a departmental leader (Group and/or Subject Leaders), a team of subject teachers at the Buckhead and Sandy Springs Campuses, and IB Coordinators. This collaborative environment enables a rich exchange of resources, expertise, and shared goals across both campuses.

This is a full-time position teaching MYP and DP English at the Buckhead Campus.
