An experienced and enthusiastic Business Studies Teacher is sought to teach IGCSE and A-Level courses, delivering high-quality lessons that engage students and develop their understanding of key business concepts. The ideal candidate is a collaborative educator committed to creating a stimulating, student-centred learning environment and supporting students to achieve academic excellence. Applicants must be fully qualified teachers (holding a relevant BA plus PGCE, BEd, or equivalent) with a minimum of three years’ teaching experience at the secondary level.
Working here offers the rare opportunity to be part of a respected British independent school tradition while helping to shape one of Vietnam’s first full British-style boarding schools. Staff work on a modern, purpose-built campus with excellent facilities that support high-quality teaching, learning, and wellbeing, and benefit from a strong pastoral and boarding ethos that allows meaningful impact on students’ lives beyond the classroom. As the school grows, there are significant opportunities for professional development, leadership, and innovation, all within an international community. Combined with a lower cost of living, striking natural surroundings, and a distinctive cultural experience in northern Vietnam, this role offers both professional fulfilment and an appealing lifestyle.
The school’s location in Lào Cai offers a distinctive and appealing place to live and work, particularly for those who value space, nature, and a slower pace of life. Set in northern Vietnam near mountains and national parks, the area provides easy access to outdoor activities, cooler temperatures than much of the country, and striking scenery, while still having the essential amenities of a provincial city. The cost of living is significantly lower than in major urban centres like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, allowing for a comfortable lifestyle and good savings potential. While it is quieter and less cosmopolitan than Vietnam’s largest cities, this is often seen as a positive by staff seeking focus, community, and balance, making it a strong fit for educators who enjoy immersion, wellbeing, and a close-knit professional environment.

- Number Of Students:
- 202 but may double in size by Aug 26. Max is 2000
- Student Make Up:
- Mostly Vietnamese
- Regional Info:
- Living in Lao Cai as a Western expat is quiet, low-key, and very much about lifestyle rather than entertainment. Day-to-day life revolves around local markets, cafés, and simple routines, with weekends often spent escaping into nature — hiking in the mountains, visiting Sapa, or exploring nearby villages and border scenery. There’s a small expat presence, mostly teachers, so social life tends to be tight-knit but limited, and you won’t find much in the way of nightlife, Western food, or big-city conveniences. English isn’t widely spoken, which can be challenging but also rewarding if you enjoy cultural immersion. Overall, it’s a good fit for expats who value calm, nature, and saving money, and who are comfortable living outside an expat bubble, but it can feel isolating for those who need a busy social scene or familiar Western comforts.
