At Allbright Global Academy, we believe teachers deserve to know exactly what they will earn before they sign anything. Core classes are the compulsory academic subjects taken by every student — Maths, Sciences, English, Foreign Language, History, and Global Politics & Global Perspectives. This document sets out the full pay structure for a core teacher covering a single year group (e.g. English Year 9, Maths Year 10, or History Year 11).

No surprises, no hidden clauses.

Teacher calendar span

Does "teaching weeks" include Portfolio in Action? No. Portfolio in Action (4.2 weeks total: Oct 26–Nov 2, Feb 22–26, Apr 19–30) involves no live lessons. Teachers instead do brief per-student check-ins (~10 min/student) plus video/portfolio upkeep (~30 min/week) — supervisory, not instructional, time. So it's a working week for teachers, but not a "teaching week."

Key difference

Year 1 — building the course

$5,520

Full recording load
· You create all videos from scratch

Year 2+ — returning teacher

$4,500

~30 min/wk maintenance recording only
· Lighter workload
· Loyalty rate

Year 2+ — new teacher, existing course

$4,120

~30 min/wk maintenance recording
· Videos already exist from prior teacher

Why Year 2+ pays less: The reduction is entirely in the recording component. In Year 2+, the core video library already exists — you maintain and update it with roughly one 30-minute video per week instead of building 80–90 minutes of new content. Live teaching, marking, and admin pay are identical every year.

Returning teacher rate: If you teach the same class again the following year, your contract rate is $4,500 — higher than the new-hire Year 2+ rate of $4,120. This is our way of recognising your investment in building the course and your familiarity with our students.
