Teaching jobs in Europe are most often to be found in the large urban centres in the West.

International School Curriculum in Europe

Europe

Europe boasts a well-established international K-12 education sector, providing a broad array of curricula to accommodate the needs of both expatriate and local students. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is extensively offered, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), appreciated for its rigorous standards and holistic approach. Many international schools also follow the British National Curriculum, which comprises the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stages 1-4, IGCSEs, and A-levels. The American curriculum, incorporating US Common Core/AERO and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, is also prevalent. Additionally, Canadian and Australian programs can be found in several schools. These curricula serve students from early childhood through high school, ensuring a comprehensive and cohesive educational experience. Major cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, and Madrid are central hubs for international school jobs, driven by their significant expatriate populations and international business presence. Beyond international schools, private schools, Montessori schools, and public school international departments offer international programs, often delivered in English. However, these tend to be less regulated and resourced compared to international schools, with mainly local students. Europe’s rich cultural heritage and advanced educational framework make it a prime destination for international educators.

International School Salaries in Europe

Europe

Teaching at international schools in Europe provides a deeply enriching career experience. Generally, a professional teaching license such as QTS, PGCE, or an equivalent credential is required, though requirements might be more flexible for roles in public school international departments or private colleges. Europe offers numerous opportunities for non-teaching roles, such as librarians, teaching assistants, speech-language therapists, and educational technology specialists, all crucial in enhancing the educational environment. Special education is well-supported in Europe, with many international schools offering services for students with special educational needs (SEN). This includes positions for SEN teachers and Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) who provide essential tailored support. Career advancement opportunities are significant, with roles such as Head of Department (HOD), Principal, and regional director available for experienced educators. The competitive nature of the international school market across Europe drives schools to seek out educators who can innovate and lead. Professional development programs are often emphasized, with many schools providing opportunities for staff to advance their careers. Salary and benefits packages offered by international schools in Europe are highly competitive, often surpassing those available in the public education system. Teachers can expect resettlement allowances, free education for their dependents, housing, and other attractive benefits. Facilities and classrooms in Europe’s international schools are generally superior to those in public schools, making it an appealing location for educators.
