Prem Tinsulanonda International<\/a> is a truly exceptional school, which is guided by its philosophy of “educating global citizens who strive for excellence, live sustainably, lead responsibly, celebrate diversity, and whose integrity champions a just and more peaceful world.\u201d In line with this holistic approach to education, Prem is an accredited IB school, and teaches the IB curriculum at PYP, MYP and DP. Another of the school’s unique selling points is its location. Prem is just 20km north of Chiang Mai, and this attracts students and teachers from all over the world. Whilst Prem has facilities for full boarders, at the same time, it caters for local students from Chiang Mai.<\/p>\n

\"uwcUnited World College Thailand\u00a0is part of the UWC movement which consists of schools and colleges in 17 different countries. UWC schools offer scholarship and bursary schemes and some accept a number of fee-paying students. The group has a dedicated and expert bunch of volunteers who form their ‘National Committee’ and select students from their home countries to join the movement. Students selected for UWC must fit the values of the movement by being internationally and interculturally\u00a0aware and must have a passion for environmental sustainability. They have compassion, integrity and a sense of idealism. Finding these students and bringing them together in a celebration of difference is what UWC schools are all about, and with more than 60.000 alumni they are making an outstanding movement.<\/p>\n

UWC Thailand is an IB community welcoming students aged 2- 18 years.\u00a0Situated in beautiful northern Phuket, Thailand, they have students from 65 different nationalities making them a truly international community. Their mission is to\u00a0make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.\u00a0The curriculum includes\u00a0social-emotional learning and mindfulness.<\/p>\n

\n\"schuleSchule Schloss Salem<\/a> is one of the most beautiful schools we work with in the world. Located in an old German castle situated in the foothills of the Alps, it has stunning views over Lake Konstanz and the Switzerland in the distance.

Teacher Horizons teachers we’ve placed at SSS speak highly of the philosophy, the students and the support they have had from the school. The quality of life for teachers is also very good with an excellent package and benefits available.

The school offers scholarships to students from all over the world giving the school a genuinely international, collaborative feel.\u00a0 Teacher Horizons has visited the school a number of times and supported with recruitment since 2012. the facilities are fantastic and the package offered to teachers is one of the best around. Competition is always tough but feedback from teachers we’ve placed there is overwhelmingly positive. UWC has 17 schools and colleges across five continents so teaching at a UWC school opens doors to opportunities in other locations.<\/div>\n
Nelson Mandela best described the UWC group when he said: “The striking thing about the UWC is that they embrace the entire world across all divides of race, history, culture, wealth, religion, economic status and political belief”.<\/div>\n
