International Teacher Talent Pool

🌍 Join Our International Teacher Talent Pool – Opportunities Starting in 2027

Thinking about teaching overseas in 2027?

The recruitment season for British International Schools is much earlier than many people realise, and because school calendars vary across the world, vacancies are released throughout the year.

📅 Typical school start dates around the world

🌏 Asia (including the Middle East) – Most British International Schools begin their academic year in August or September. Some countries, such as Japan, follow an April start, but the majority of international schools recruit for August starts. 

🌍 Europe – Most schools begin in late August or early September, with recruitment often taking place from October onwards. 

🌍 Africa – British International Schools vary by country, but many follow either a late August/September calendar or a January calendar, depending on the national education system and school. Recruitment takes place throughout the year.

🌎 North & South America – Most schools start between August and September, although many countries in South America begin their academic year in February or March.

🌎  Australia & Oceania – The school year typically begins in late January or early February.
