Science Teacher

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and experienced Science teacher from the end of August 2026 who has the flexibility to cover the combined Science programme (Chemistry, Biology and Physics). The ability to teach Math would be advantageous.

The successful applicant will be a dynamic and creative practitioner, committed to the highest standards of teaching and learning and expected to play an active role outside the classroom (including supporting the sports programme) within our international full-boarding community.

Classes are small at Surval, typically around 10 students or smaller. As a small school, subject practitioners must be self-sufficient in their subject specialism, able to build their own resources, and to administer the curriculum and assessments efficiently. Flexibility is valued and expected.

Surval-Montreux is seeking a highly motivated and dedicated secondary-level Science teacher. If you are motivated by the opportunity to teach in a supportive, international environment where academic excellence is combined with cultural enrichment and personal development, you can consult the Job Descriptionhere.

• Appreciation of the Surval ethos and commitment to all-round education
• Ability to teach Combined Science up to Grade 10
