PYP Homeroom Teacher

Älmhult Municipality is in an expansive phase of development, and its population is growing like never before. We need employees who are committed to making an active contribution to the development of the municipality. Älmhult combines the advantages of a small town with a unique international atmosphere. It is easy to live here and most things are close by. Good communications make commuting easy.

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to work at our accomplished IB World School in Älmhult. The International School of Älmhult is a warm, friendly and welcoming school. The last years the International school of Älmhult has grown from a small school to a school with almost 500 students.

We are truly international in many senses. There are 53 different nationalities and backgrounds represented amongst our students. We also strive to employ a diverse community of teachers. This year we can boast teachers coming from 34 different countries.

We are an IB school, which means that we are progressive and work to develop the skills for the 21st century and prepare our students for an ever-changing world. In 2017, we moved into our new home: a modern and eco-friendly building, with a lot of open space and light. The school is in the town of Älmhult, southern Sweden, which is a safe and convenient place for families to live.
