Contract Dates

26/06/2026 - 27/07/2026

SBC Subject Teachers are at the heart of what we do, delivering high-quality, inclusive lessons in a multicultural setting. They are instrumental in helping students become more confident, and equipped with 21st-century communication skills. Teachers promote a culture of respect and understanding and they encourage our students to love learning through fun and engaging lessons. At SBC, teachers play a huge role in enriching our students' experience, making their time with us truly unforgettable.

The Future Artists Programme is a two-week course for students eager to explore how art shapes perception and communication. Teachers guide students as they experiment with different mediums and techniques, using creative expression to convey ideas, emotions, and perspectives beyond words. The programme emphasizes confidence and critical thinking through individual projects, group critiques, and collaborative work that challenges students to push boundaries.

By combining technical skill with artistic reflection, teachers help students develop their unique voice, inspiring them to create work that is both personal and purposeful, and nurturing the confidence to continue their creative journey.
