St. Dominic’s International School in Lisbon has an opportunity for an EAL teacher who is available to start in September 2018. This is an ideal opportunity to advance your TEFL career to another level. We have long played an important part in education in Portugal, being one of the first schools, globally, to introduce a programme from the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) . It remains the only three programme IB school in the country, offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP) to close to eight hundred students from around the world.
Only 25 kilometers from the vibrant city of Lisbon and close to the shore, St. Dominic’s green, open-air campus is a uniquely safe and peaceful environment that promotes a sense of community. Our students explore, experiment, and create in over 48 fully equipped classrooms and 2 well-resourced libraries, multiple Science, Technology and Computer labs and dedicated Art, Music and Drama rooms. Our commitment to outdoor and physical education is reflected in our two multi-use Gymnasiums and Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, and Badminton areas.
