Do you have a passion for education and a commitment to making a difference in the lives of students?
Whether you are newly graduated or are experienced, primary or secondary trained, if your practice is founded on unconditional positive regard and the belief that young people can re-engage with learning and experience success through a strengths-based approach to education then this role may be for you!
About us
Indie Schoolprovides students the opportunity to learn in a supportive workplace using individualised learning and education plans, tailored to each student's own education and life circumstances.
Smaller class sizes allow students greater opportunity to identify their strengths and work to improve areas in which they lack confidence.
The greatest difference betweenIndie Schooland many other alternative education settings is that our foundations lie in Adult Education philosophies.
Choice, independence, mutual respect and accountability all have a significant role to play.
In return for higher levels of self-responsibility, the students can enjoy some greater freedoms.
