Teaching in Private Schools
Teaching in Private Schools in the United Kingdom
Private school teachers and administrators work in close-knit communities with high academic expectations, well-motivated students, and involved parents. They can collaborate with colleagues, and have the opportunity to affect the development of young people through their work both in and out of the classroom. Classes are intimate learning environments where teachers are closely connected to their students and discipline problems are rare. Private schools encourage teachers to be creative, flexible and autonomous in their classrooms.
Each independent school strives to admit students who will derive the most benefit from its programme. The same rationale applies for selecting administrators and teachers, and finding the right job may depend on finding the right match between your talents and interests and a school's philosophy, mission and needs.
