What qualifications are required to work at CIS as a Teacher?

For teaching roles, we look for relevant educational degrees, qualified teacher status and certifications, as well as proficiency in English and/or German, depending on the role. IB teaching experience is a plus for any teaching role at our school. Full details for each position can be found in the individual job posting.

CIS Primary School operates bilingually, with instruction in both English and German. In the Secondary School, English is the primary language of instruction, while German is taught as a core subject. Specific language requirements for staff vary by role and are outlined in each job description. The company language is English.

While prior experience in international education, particularly with the IB Curriculum, or in bilingual settings is an advantage, it is not always a requirement. At CIS, we value open-minded and well-qualified professionals who are enthusiastic about contributing to a diverse, innovative learning environment.

CIS offers a tuition fee reduction for employees’ children.
In accordance with German tax law, this benefit is considered a ‘Geldwerter Vorteil’ (benefit in kind). The financial value of the tuition reduction is legally added to your gross salary, and taxes are calculated accordingly. This is a standard procedure in Germany for such non-cash benefits. Further information is available during the interview process.

We welcome qualified teachers of all nationalities. To work in Germany, a valid work visa is essential. We will assist in applying for visas when required. This can be a standard Residence Permit, the EU Blue Card for highly-qualified professionals, or the new Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) for job seekers.

CIS offers a collaborative, supportive, and internationally-minded work environment. Staff members benefit from a diverse community, shared values, and a culture that encourages innovation, professional growth, and student-centered learning.

Amazonas-Dschungel

Im Februar 2024 begaben sich 25 unserer CIS-Schüler auf eine lange Reise in den Amazonas-Dschungel in Iquitos, Peru. Die Schüler hatten in den vorangegangenen Monaten hart gearbeitet, um Gelder für ihr gemeinnütziges Projekt mit den lokalen Gemeinden von El Chino in der Tahuayo-Region des Amazonasbeckens zu sammeln. Vor Ort nahmen unsere 25 Schüler zusammen mit unseren drei Lehrern und den Führern der Lodge, in der sie untergebracht waren, an einem ganztägigen gemeinnützigen Projekt teil, bei dem die Schüler zwei komplette Grundschulklassenräume bauten. Unsere Schüler bauten 20 Tische und 20 Stühle mit Hilfe der örtlichen Gemeinde von Grund auf neu und stellten die neuen Möbel schließlich in den Klassenzimmern auf. Dank dieser Initiative konnten die Schüler zwei Klassenzimmer einrichten, in denen die Kinder der Gemeinde nun ganztägig unterrichtet werden. An der CIS gehört es zu den Grundpfeilern einer exzellenten Ausbildung, das Privileg eines IB-Schülers und eines Schülers einer internationalen Schule zu verstehen und zu erkennen, wie wichtig es ist, Weltbürger zu sein. Damit einher geht die Verantwortung, für die Gemeinschaften, die diese Welt bevölkern, verantwortlich zu sein, und die Bedeutung, etwas zurückzugeben und Veränderungen zu bewirken!
