Working at NIST International School in Bangkok
With over a hundred international schools in Bangkok and even more around Southeast Asia, we know that you have many choices as a teacher. We believe that schools and educators, and in turn students, thrive when they share a common philosophy and vision, and this conviction drives our hiring decisions.
Equally important, we know that your role as a teacher first and foremost should be focused on student wellbeing and learning. At NIST we want you to feel encouraged, supported and valued to allow you to keep that focus at the forefront. This employment portal not only offers information about our current opportunities, but also walks you through the process of transitioning to Thailand, provides resources to help you adjust to your new home, and helps you prepare for your role with online training resources.
