Greetings! We look forward to meeting with you and discussing the possibility of you joining our team of highly dedicated educators. With China now back to pre-2020 normality, we are excited about recruiting a new crop of professionals to share in the joy of working in a country rich in history and pushing the boundaries of education innovation. We are a dedicated community of educators and scholars hailing from more than 30 different countries and territories, administered under the auspices of one of the best research universities in the world. Our k-12 program has been recognized for its innovative practices and growing influence.
Our school is growing fast with students on our waitlist for all grade levels. Whereas many schools in China are struggling with numbers, during the course of the last academic year we have continued to grow. We have begun the 2023-24 school year with just over 1300 students and will begin the 2024-25 school year with over 1500. We anticipate 1700 students for 2025-26, as we move to our ultimate capacity of 2000 students. As such, we are expanding our faculty across all subjects. We are also able to accommodate teachers wishing to relocate early during the 2024-25 school year, as it is our current policy to get the jump on visa and work permit issues to ensure that everyone is comfortably in place for August 2025. Thus, depending on the subject and grade level, our budget allows us to bring in faculty throughout the school year.
