On-call substitute classroom teacher
Founded in 1924, the Ecole Internationale de Genève (Ecolint) welcomes 4,500 students aged 3 to 18, representing more than 130 nationalities. Our 1,250 staff from all over the world work on our three campuses (La Grande Boissière and Campus des Nations in Geneva, La Châtaigneraie in the canton of Vaud).
In our 7 schools, our students benefit from international teaching and bilingual supervision of the highest quality.
To fulfil our mission of "Educating students to be global citizens with the courage and capacity to create a just and joyful tomorrow together", every member of staff can draw inspiration from our hundred years of experience, our constant drive to innovate, and our strong humanitarian values.
The La Châtaigneraie Campus is located in the hamlet of Châtaigneriaz, overlooking the village of Founex and Lake Geneva, not far from Geneva. With a mix of old and new buildings, the campus is divided into an elementary school and a secondary school, with a total of around 1,600 students. We are proud to be both a global International Baccalaureate school and to offer our students the opportunity to follow the Swiss Maturité curriculum. Our programs are based on the IB Learner Profile, a set of ideals that inspire, motivate and guide the work of the school, helping students to become more thoughtful, grounded, responsible and caring global citizens. Promoting these qualities is at the heart of everything we do. Our international team of educators is dedicated to welcoming and supporting a diverse student population.
