Why work at Shu Ren International School
Shu Ren International School is dedicated to attracting, developing, rewarding, and retaining a world-class faculty. We aim to create a welcoming culture of inclusion and belonging for our internationally diverse community of teachers, administrators, and staff. We prioritize advances in compensation, benefits, and work climate.
Inclusion, belonging, and team culture
We are enriched by the unique cultures and perspectives of our internationally diverse community of teachers, administrators, and staff. We work to create a globally-aware community through research, professional development, and conversations with each other about our cultures and languages to offset implicit biases. We seek to create an environment where each community member is welcome as their true self.
As an IB World School, we are committed to cultivating a comprehensive and enriching educational environment that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. These principles are the guiding lights that shape our curriculum and practices, benefiting both our students and adults.
Professional development for teachers
We hire teachers who are passionate about learning and who continuously seek to advance their teaching knowledge and skills. We provide our teachers with many professional development opportunities, including training in the IB PYP model. In addition, teachers receive mentorship and coaching from various school leaders and access to learning sessions that encourage growth and reflection. Teachers benefit from our network of international schools, making it possible to share innovative and proven teaching strategies across multiple learning communities.
Outstanding benefits
We believe our teachers and staff deserve to be compensated well for the dedication, commitment, and care they give our students every day. Part of that is providing great benefits to enhance our employees' well-being and peace of mind. That is why we offer health plans that can cover up to 100% of the employee's health premium (depending on the program), a 401k retirement plan with up to a 4% match, as well as short and long-term disability and life insurance policies at no cost to the employee. Use our Employee Assistance Program and PerkSpot gym discounts to promote mind and body health!

A shared vision
Our teachers are dedicated to supporting the growth and development of young people with the skills, knowledge, and compassion necessary to face and overcome some of our greatest challenges.
