Career Progression

All teachers at BSK are adventurous, capable and ambitious and whilst the average length of stay has been increasing, there remain frequent opportunities for colleagues to apply for positions of extra responsibility within the school.

In addition to the career benefits, teaching overseas opens doors to an incredibly enriching lifestyle.
