Start date: From the beginning of the 2026 school year, across our three sites: primary schools in Geneva and Mies, and lower secondary/middle school
Activity rate: 5 hours per week
Schedule:
- Tuesdays, 4:45–6:00 PM at the lower secondary/middle school (students aged 12–15)

Our bilingual (French–English) private school, La Découverte, located in Geneva and Mies, welcomes children into a stimulating, demanding, and caring environment. We place as much importance on academic learning as on the development of social, emotional, and relational skills.
To complete our teaching team, we are looking for a Spanish teacher who shares these values and wishes to help provide children and adolescents with a safe, warm setting conducive to their growth.
Your Role
As part of our extracurricular activities, we are seeking a Spanish teacher to join our team from the start of the school year, beginning the week of August 24, 2026.
The successful candidate will lead fun, interactive Spanish lessons for students across our three campuses.
At the primary level: Through games, songs, stories, and playful activities, introduce children to the Spanish language in a natural and enjoyable way. Offer a workshop that enables them to expand their vocabulary, develop their listening comprehension, and open up to a new culture—all while enjoying the learning process.
At the lower secondary level: Through a blend of conversation, cultural exploration, grammar practice, and creative projects, help students strengthen their language skills in a dynamic and inclusive environment. You will develop in students the confidence needed to speak and express their ideas—whether they are still building their vocabulary or already speak the language fluently.
