VCIS is seeking an exceptional and highly motivated teacher to be part of our creative arts department.
Varee Chiangmai International School is a fully accredited member of EDT (Education Development Trust) and delivers CIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education) following a English-based curriculum across the key stages in Geography leading to IGCSE and A level. We take a holistic approach to a child’s education and development, with the arts, sports, creative clubs and the Duke of Edinburgh award programme all contributing to the extra-curricular activities. The secondary school has approximately 170 students enrolled.
The Arts department is focussed on ensuring lessons are active, challenging and relatable for students. We collaborate in planning and delivering lessons to a consistently high standard, and encourage staff to try new strategies to engage and develop learners. By the end of their arts education at VCIS, we strive to make students creative thinkers with the ability to imagine and innovate freely.
The school is located close to the centre of Chiang Mai, the bustling capital of Thailand’s northern Lanna region: an area of misty mountains, Buddhist temples and diverse Hill Tribe cultures, as well as a thriving social scene. Chiang Mai has been rated among the top 10 most livable cities in Asia. It has a laid-back atmosphere, enjoys a tropical climate tempered by altitude most of the year, and, above all, is affordable. The lifestyle achievable means that most of our teachers renew their initial contract.

- Be able to teach Art and Design across KS4 and KS5 is essential.
- Past experienced in delivering the Cambridge IGCSE is highly desirable.
- Be able to use technology to track student progress.
- Be a team player with strong interpersonal skills.
- Possess the ability to work with diverse groups of colleagues, students, and parents, as well as different cultures. Experience working in a multicultural/international school setting is considered a bonus.
- Be willing to take on the challenge of supporting/ accommodating ESL speakers in your lessons.
- Have a flexible attitude as our school grows and develops.
- Be a positive and enthusiastic member of the staffroom.
- Be willing to be fully involved in the extra-curricular life of the school.
In return we offer:
- A two-year contract.
- A locally competitive salary in line with other international schools in Chiang Mai.
- Housing support.

- End of contract bonus and flight support
- Visa and work permit support.
