Work with us

Are you a Primary or Secondary teacher?

We are looking for someone who will thrive on the challenge of sharing power with young people.

Does this hold true for you?

• You want to be part of a setting where children are at the helm of their own education.

• You are comfortable inspiring young people rather than directing them.

• You are curious about the world and constantly learning.You ask questions instead of assuming the answers.

• You are comfortable not knowing all the answers… even in front of a group of kids!

• You play. You have fun playing.

• You can use humour to bond with kids and make them feel at ease.

• You spend time outdoors and enjoy being in nature.

• You can be empathetic in the face of adversity.

• You are willing to work towards an unconditional approach (no punishment or reward, including praise).

• You find it easy to be flexible and change plans when something unexpected happens.

• You see yourself as a problem-solver.

We will greatly value your experience in:

• Project based learning

• Progressive, inquiry-based education

• Making and recording observations

• Using maths manipulatives

• Active listening and non violent communication

• Woodwork and maker fablabs

• Bushcraft skills

• Permaculture

• Playing musical instruments of any sort (including instruments from junk)

• Promoting social justice

Relevant qualifications, though not necessarily as a teacher –as well as a commitment to professional development– are essential. If you are not a native Spanish speaker, Spanish is not a requirement but would be an advantage.

Since we encourage age-mixed groups, there will be opportunities to work with children of all ages (3-12). This is a full time position.

What we can offer:

• The opportunity to enjoy working in a small but highly motivated team, with children who are eager to learn, in a school community where parents are very supportive, in the beautiful city of La Laguna, Tenerife (Canary Islands).

• We provide in-house training for continuous professional development.

• Long-term contract.

• Salary according to your experience and qualifications, and to the Spanish Convenio de Educación de Enseñanza Privada
