Job Overview
Brief Introduction to the School:
Victoria International School Sharjah (VISS) has been providing excellence in education since 2007 and has recently expanded its campuses. In August 2022, two new, amazing, purpose-built facilities opened on the East Coast of Sharjah in the cities of Kalba and Khor Fakkan. VISS Kalba, opened in September 2022 and founded by the Sheikh of Sharjah, serves students from PreKG to Grade 8, expanding to Grade 9 next year. Plans are underway for a new secondary school.
This school provides a learning community that supports the attainment of excellence. The school strives to produce students who are critical thinkers, confident, reflective, and responsible global citizens capable of facing the future with resilience and optimism. This opportunity offers a professional career move in a well-managed supportive setting and a great lifestyle with low cost of living, modern apartments within close proximity to the coastal city of Fujairah. The schools enjoy excellent facilities offering education to Emirati and international students alike. Our staff community consists of over 100 individuals, including teachers, teaching assistants, drivers, and bus conductors, representing various parts of the world. Although we are relatively new, we have excellent facilities and a strong pastoral system.
