Full-time, Permanent

Mulgrave is one of Canada’s leading independent co-educational pre-K – 12 day schools, serving the North Shore of Vancouver. We are an established IB Continuum World School with a reputation for excellence and innovation. We are now seeking applicants for the role of DP/MYP Math Teacher, to start in August 2023. 

All Mulgrave students follow the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) in Grades 6-10, and most students pursue the IB Diploma Programme (DP) in Grades 11 & 12, although about 15% each year opt for an Enriched Pathway to graduation that includes a mix of DP and other courses. Teaching and learning are enriched by opportunities for exploration in the arts, athletics, outdoor education, service, leadership, and more.

Our Upper School (Grades 6-12) is a fast-paced and highly collaborative professional environment, where innovation is encouraged and student learning and well-being drive everything we do. Our teachers get to know their students well, both in and out of the classroom, and work together to ensure that every student is appropriately challenged, feels safe and seen, and knows that they belong at Mulgrave.

A low student-teacher ratio and a stimulating, well-resourced, technology-rich environment make this an exceptional place to teach.
