Teaching in Singapore
Dubbed Asia’s Lion City, Singapore is a city state and financial powerhouse located in SouthEast Asia. The Republic of Singapore has a population of over 5.6 million people predominantly of Chinese, Malay, and Indian descent. Often referred to as “Asia Lite”, Singapore prides itself on being the place where East meets West. English is widely spoken, along with Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil. Teaching abroad in Singapore is a popular choice for those who want to explore Asian culture but with the safety net of Western living standards. There are a large and growing number of international schools in the city, making it easy to find teaching jobs in Singapore for English speakers. International schools in Singapore offer the American, British, Canadian, and International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. Singapore teaching jobs often offer a highly attractive salary, along with housing, resettlement and other allowances. These factors, along with the city’s clean image, safety, and modernity, combine to make teaching jobs in Singapore international schools an attractive option for foreigners.

How to Find Teaching Jobs in Singapore International Schools
International schools in Singapore follow the Western academic calendar, with the first semester from August to December and the second running from January to June. In terms of international school jobs, there will often be two employment intakes, in August and in December/January. Recruitment for teaching jobs in Singapore will typically begin as early as October or November of the previous calendar year. Foreign nationals should be aware that not all teaching vacancies are open to expat teachers, and that senior, leadership and support roles are often filled with locally based candidates. Among the most common teaching vacancies for foreigners teaching abroad in Singapore are for early years, primary, and secondary teachers (particularly English, Math, Art, Science and Physical Education), as well as School Principal and Coordinator positions. There are also opportunities for School Counsellors and Teacher Librarian vacancies. Whilst the language of instruction in most international schools in Singapore will be English, some schools teach in bilingual mode. A teacher’s licence, QTS or similar professional teaching qualification is normally a minimum requirement for teaching jobs in Singapore international schools.
