Dedicated Teachers Needed in Tirana, Albania

Albanian International School is an international school located in Tirana, the capital city of Albania. We are looking for dedicated teachers who are flexible and ready for the challenge of both teaching multiple subjects in a classroom setting and committed to helping the school grow by being active in the community.

Albanian International School has been in operation for six years and is fully accredited by the Ministry of Education and Sport and we are progressing through the WASC international accreditation process.

Albania is a beautiful country full of gorgeous beaches and snow-capped mountains and the cost of living is among the lowest worldwide. It is bordered by Montenegro, Kosovo, the Republic of Macedonia, Italy and Greece. Albania achieved democracy in 1990, and is rapidly becoming a top tourist destination. Albania was recommended as a top travel destination by Lonely Planet and in 2014, Albania was nominated as the number 4 global tourist destination by the New York Times. Come experience life in Albania and the excitement of being in on the ground floor of a new, modern institution of excellence in education. We would invite any hard-working educator who desires to help a country improve its education system to inquire with the school itself.
