Description

North London Collegiate School Dubai seeks a Teacher of Economics

Effective start date: 1st September 2026

NLCS Dubai opened in 2017, joining the NLCS family of
schools.

The School reserves the right to make an appointment
before any deadline dates if a suitable candidate is found.

Closing date for Applications:  1st March 2026

NLCS (UK)

North London Collegiate School (UK) was founded in 1850 by
Frances Mary Buss; her aim was to offer an academically ambitious education to
girls, similar to that available to their brothers. The School has pioneered
women's education for over 160 years and remains among the highest achieving
schools in the UK. Exam results regularly top the UK league tables and the
School has repeatedly outperformed other prestigious schools in terms of
Oxbridge success rates.

Unlike many UK independent schools, NLCS has a firm
commitment to ensuring close links with its overseas branch schools. Every
effort is made to replicate the ethos and standards of NLCS overseas. Wherever
possible, staff for overseas schools are interviewed in London and by NLCS (UK)
staff, as well as staff from our overseas schools. All teachers, once
appointed, are invited to travel to London for induction and training at the UK
school and this is generously funded by our partners.

Once an overseas branch is open, it is regularly monitored
and inspected by the UK school, and close links are formed through pupil and
staff exchanges, joint departmental projects, educational visits and
extracurricular activities, such as videoconference debates and jointly
produced student publications.

As the NLCS family of schools expands, it is hoped that
partnership activities will expand so that each school in the group develops
links with the others. We also hope to see staff join the group in order to
build their career with us and benefit from the many professional development
and career-progression opportunities, which a group of world-class schools such
as ours can offer.

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS 

In 2011, NLCS opened its first international branch school
in South Korea: NLCS Jeju. NLCS Jeju is a co-educational day and boarding
school, and offers the IB Diploma to all students in the Sixth Form, and has
achieved outstanding results since its first cohort of graduating in 2014. The
School's alumnae continue on to excellent universities around the world,
including destinations in the UK, USA and Asia.  

In September 2017, NLCS opened its second branch school in
the UAE: NLCS Dubai. The School is a co-educational, day school, following the
IB Continuum, with pupils undertaking the IB Diploma in Grade

NLCS (Singapore) opened in August 2020. This is NLCS' third
branch school. The School is a co-education day school in the heart of
Singapore.

NLCS DUBAI

NLCS Dubai aims to be the top-performing IB World School in
the UAE, supporting the aspirations and abilities of all students; as a result,
they and their families will choose to stay in Dubai throughout their Primary
and Secondary schooling.

The School offers an academically ambitious education in
keeping with the aspirational ethos of NLCS (UK), and the same impressive range
of extra-curricular activities, to foster well-rounded individuals who are
capable of becoming leaders. The School is a coeducational day school for
pupils aged 3-18 years, situated within the prestigious Hartland development in
Dubai. The School was built and is funded by our partners in the project,
Meraki.

While ensuring academic excellence and intellectual
challenge, NLCS Dubai is equally concerned with supporting the development of
the whole person and aims to inspire confidence, individuality and self-esteem.

NLCS Dubai is an English-speaking school, and is authorised
as an IB continuum school for the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years
Programme and Diploma programmes. A number of lessons per week are devoted to
the teaching of the Arabic language, UAE Social Studies and Islamic Education.
(Islamic Education is compulsory for Muslim students only.)

THE ETHOS

The ethos of NLCS Dubai echoes that of NLCS (UK) – every
effort is made to recreate the ethos of the UK 'parent' school, whilst taking
into account and remaining sensitive to the local culture and context.

The School aims to provide a first-rate ambitious academic
education for every child, which inspires a life-long love of learning and
gives the knowledge, attitudes and confidence to flourish.

At North London Collegiate schools, academic success is
gained, not through an emphasis on results, by creating an atmosphere of
rigorous scholarship; students are encouraged to study beyond the examination
syllabus in order to develop their intellectual independence and love of their
subjects. The pastoral well-being is of the utmost importance and good
relationships are fostered between students and staff, as well as between the
students themselves.

The co-curricular life of NLCS schools is vibrant, both in
academic and non-academic fields. Students participate in a wide range of
subject-focussed clubs and societies, from weekly book groups to Debating, to
'Mad Scientists' and 'Model United Nations'. In the UK School, over forty
academic clubs and societies operate weekly meetings and events, in order to
give every opportunity for students to develop their intellectual curiosity,
independence of thought and genuine love of subject; there are a large number
of student-produced academic journals which reflect the particular interests of
these societies. Non-academic activities also thrive as NLCS schools aims to
create an environment in which the whole personality can grow. Co-curricular
Sport, Music, Art and Drama are all of excellent quality and over seventy
activities take place at lunch times and after school each day, with large
numbers involved.

THE CURRICULUM

NLCS Dubai is an "IB Continuum School'' offering the IB
Primary Years Programme (PYP) in the Junior School, Middle Years Programme
(MYP) in Grades 6 to 10, and Diploma Programme in the Sixth Form. NLCS Dubai is
authorised in all three programmes.

LIFE IN DUBAI

Dubai is a thriving international hub, where approximately
90% of the 3.05 million residents are expatriates living alongside the local
Emiratis. The successful candidate will be sympathetic to and considerate of
the culture of a Muslim country, in both their personal and professional life.

welfare of children and young people. All staff and volunteers are expected to
