Chemistry Teacher

Chemistry Teacher

About the Role

Creative School fosters a holistic, inquiry-driven, and integrated approach to Science education, where Science is taught as both a body of knowledge and a process of exploration, wonder, and discovery. Inspired by real-life connections and hands-on experiences, we aim to nurture scientific thinking, creativity, and a deep appreciation of nature in every learner. The role involves developing students’ analytical, reasoning, and independent learning skills while connecting chemistry to real-world and interdisciplinary contexts.

The Chemistry Teacher at Creative will spark curiosity, encourage deep inquiry, and facilitate connections between Science and other disciplines. This educator will design experiential learning opportunities that blend physical, life, and earth sciences with mathematics, language arts, and the arts, enabling students to investigate the world through multiple lenses. The role demands a facilitator who can guide students through the joy, challenges, and complexities of scientific exploration.
