In the Upper School (Grades 7–10), our focus is on inspiring students to think independently, work with purpose, and make meaningful connections between ideas, developing a deeper understanding of the world and their place within it. This role will involve delivering engaging Social Studies lessons alongside Business and Enterprise education, helping students build both academic understanding and practical, real-world skills.
