Lanna International School recruits from a variety of sources and actively seeks qualified teachers with international experience, as well as experienced teachers who wish to leave their home countries and begin a career in international education.
We are seeking teachers who can help us to attain the highest educational standards whilst maintaining our friendly and caring atmosphere: something that all of us at Lanna value and cherish. You will join a supportive, energetic and enthusiastic team of teachers who are determined to make high achievement and enjoyment of school life a reality for all of our children.
Chiang Mai is a great place to live, gaining the status of most liveable province in Thailand in a 2007 government survey. Cost of living is low here, whilst quality of life is high. Come and join us!
Minimum requirements to teach at Lanna international School are a B.Ed. or a bachelor degree, or higher, in an area related to the subject taught plus a teaching certificate. We are unable to accept TEFL or CELTA certificates as a teaching credential.
All new teachers receive a comprehensive orientation programme.
The LIST international teacher package includes:
- Bupa Thailand medical insurance coverage.
- Free education for two of your children (“yours” by birth or legally adopted), and half fees thereafter.
- Return flight to country of origin upon contract renewal. Provided every second year, from the end of the second year of service (or a cash bonus alternative).
- Free lunch each day.
- The school assists with relevant immigration, visa and Thai teacher license issues on your behalf, and pays the appropriate fees.
- Regular opportunities for funded Professional Development, both in Thailand and beyond (it is very much encouraged).
- Opportunities to contribute to the development of the school in a meaningful way through membership of committees and frequent consultation on important school issues. This is not a “top down” school; your opinions are considered, valued, and indeed expected.
