Description

Primary School Teacher

Purpose of Role

We put learners and learning first. Learning is affected by both internal factors (such as

emotions, motivation and general health and wellbeing) and external factors (such as environment, curriculum and relationships). The external factor that has the most significant impact on our students' learning is the teacher.

At ISP, everyone is a learner. So as one of our teachers, you are also a learner. Together, we will embark on an ongoing process of exploring, expanding and evolving your practice in ways that directly impact and improve student learning.

Learner (ISP definition)

Everyone at ISP is a learner. The ISP learner recognises that their mindset, experiences and actions drive their learning outcomes. With this awareness, they exercise voice, choice, and ownership over their process of learning - leading their learning and the learning of others.

About the school

- MILE

Founded in 2003, Mile School offers a very distinctive bilingual curriculum (Italian and English) for students of all grades (nursery, kindergarten, primary and lower secondary), from 1 to 14 years old.

It is a "paritaria" School, officially recognized by MIUR (the Italian Ministry of Education) both for Primary and Lower Secondary, and it has been the first Italian bilingual school in Milan (south-west area) certified by Cambridge.

Consolidating a well-rounded education, the School has developed a very comprehensive and high quality curriculum: knowledge acquisition, development of the abilities, of the talents and of the skills of the students, as well as development of the emotional intelligence and education to universal values.

A tailor-made approach, which respects the uniqueness of each student as an individual and provides a continuous improvement, through the method of the "learning by doing" and of the "cooperative learning".

A real multi-cultural School, which combines the Italian cultural tradition with an international mindset and an innovative approach.

A consolidated, very experienced and highly-qualified Staff of mother-tongue teachers is further committed to developing the students' creativity in addition to their critical thinking, with the aim to grow responsible and respectful future "citizens of the world", capable of designing and determining their own personal and career path.

A variety of extra-curricular activities integrates and complements the academic program, contributing to building their excellence.
