Teaching Context Commencing August 2026 The
International School of Trieste (IST) offers motivated educators
the opportunity to shape program areas from curricula to school
culture, with a view to maintaining a forward-thinking scholastic
setting which provides for a range of student learning profiles.
Located in the Karst plateau overlooking the Adriatic Sea, this
non-profit organization serves the local and expatriate communities
of Trieste and its surrounding areas. A thirty-minute commute from
the city center and just ninety minutes east of Venice, IST
educates around 370 students from Early Childhood through High
School. We promote a rigorous learning environment in which
students are actively engaged to develop an understanding of both
local and global concerns. Teacher candidates should possess the
capacity to adapt to a variety of learning styles and to foster
critical awareness and academic curiosity. The ability to
collaborate with colleagues in intra- and interdisciplinary
contexts is expected. Our benefits package includes annual
round-trip airfare, local travel benefits, medical and dental
insurance. Teaching Requirements Teaching students aged 11-14, the
successful candidate will be responsible for Science instruction to
mixed-ability classes in Grades 6-9. A typical teaching day may
include lessons with students from across this age range as well as
Advisory and Supervising Duties. Teachers are encouraged to lead or
participate in annual residential trips in Italy and around Europe.
The primary role of the Middle School Science Teacher is to prepare
students in the Middle School and Grade 9 for continuing study in
Chemistry, Physics and Biology. The Middle School program prepares
students in Earth Science, Biology,



Chemistry and Physics while
following a general key stage 3 curriculum blending into a
foundational GCSE level program. This teacher works in close
collaboration with the Grades 10-13 Science Teacher as well. The
successful applicant will: demonstrate curricular knowledge and
developmental awareness of students needs; follow the written
curriculum of the school; contribute to the periodic review and
development of the curricular program; use clear, logical and
integrated instructional plans to align content and to deliver
appropriate material based on group and individual needs;
collaborate in the management of the lab inventory; lead the
planning of and preparation for approved practicals; establish a
climate of trust and respect in which students can safely take
positive risks; communicate clearly, efficiently and responsibly
with students, parents and colleagues; maintain the expected level
of professionalism in appearance, demeanor and comportment; collect
data to determine student achievement goals in September and the
progress of those goals throughout the school year. The successful
candidate will also be expected to further develop and maintain
academic links with Triestes international science community, such
as the International Center for Theoretical Physics and the AREA
Science Park. In addition to these duties, the Middle School
Science Teacher is also a House Advisor as part of ISTs House
System. This responsibility involves supporting activities and
competitions during 30-minute Advisory periods at the end of each
day and providing campus supervision during lunch times and recess.
IST employs a cover teacher to assist during teacher absences;
however, teachers also complete cover when colleagues are absent or
leading a residential trip.
