About our school
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.

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.
