Job Description- Full Time French Teacher (1.0 FTE) Senior Level
Fraser Valley School and Diamond School, both non-denominational independent schools in Surrey, BC, have officially merged into one new school: Crescent Heights Academy, and we have big plans for our future. With 650 students from K-12 in 2024, our population will grow to 700 students in the following few years. Our aim is to provide students with an inclusive community, a challenging academic education with a focus on our students’ character, emphasizing critical and compassionate thinking and a life-long love of learning. Our school has a vibrant, close-knit family atmosphere where students are known and cared for; we seek candidates that value the professional and appropriate connections with students and their families and understand that every child matters. Plans have begun to build a 120,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility on the current Diamond School site. Over the next 4 years we will be planning and building the new facility with an eye to providing our students with an environment that supports our mission of building future ready students. Candidates who possess an entrepreneurial, trail-blazing spirit would thrive in this growing, progressive school.
