Employment

ZIS welcomes educators to apply to become a part of our outstanding faculty.

At Zurich International School, we seek educators who lead their practice with respect, humility, courage, and joy. ZIS teachers believe deeply in the potential of every learner and understand that learning requires intentional teaching, clear expectations, and sustained effort. They create classrooms where students feel seen, supported, and appropriately challenged.

ZIS educators treat every student and perspective with dignity. They design inclusive, coherent, and intellectually demanding learning experiences, providing clear guidance, meaningful feedback, and opportunities for practice and growth. They model trust, care, and shared responsibility within our community.

ZIS teachers are reflective professionals who learn continuously, collaborate with others, and ground their practice in evidence of what supports learning. They demonstrate courage by prioritizing clarity over novelty, persisting when learning is difficult, and engaging honestly in challenging conversations.

ZIS educators cultivate joy in learning—through curiosity, creativity, and a sense of purpose—understanding that joy comes not from ease, but from growth, mastery, and belonging. Working together in a professional learning community, ZIS teachers support every learner in developing the knowledge, skills, and character to make a positive impact on their families, their communities, and the world.

We are looking to attract candidates who represent the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives of our community and who will enrich the learning and growth of our students.  ZIS welcomes applications from all backgrounds, including those traditionally underrepresented in the international school community.
