We invite applications from experienced local and international educators who embody our IB values and are dedicated to developing globally minded learners.
International Village School (IVS) offers an exciting opportunity for teachers who are really passionate about international-mindedness, progressive education, and the holistic development of learners.
IVS proudly represents one of Chennai’s most authentic “Global Villages”.
We do not only teach internationalism; we live it every day.
Our faculty represents a mosaic of cultures, perspectives, and professional experiences, all brought together by our shared dedication to fostering global citizens who remain grounded in their own cultures while valuing other cultures.
Our teachers design rich, in-depth learning experiences that engage with global contexts while celebrating the heritage and diversity of South India. We deeply value educators rooted in the cultural and educational richness of India, whose perspectives strengthen our global learning environment.
This combination of international relevance and local grounding sits at the heart of our IVS ethos.
We believe firmly in the IB philosophy. At IVS, IB principles are more than aspirational statements; we embed them into every classroom practice. Our teachers cultivate learning environments that are inquiry-based and emphasize collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and reflection equipping students for the demands of the future.

Beyond the classroom, IVS teachers actively contribute to campus life. Be it through our Pursuits Programme, mentoring student-led action projects, or collaborating within our design-thinking labs, our faculty derives energy from the multiple pathways through which students achieve their success.
International Village School is located in the heart of Chennai’s growth corridor, bordering over 100 acres of protected reserve forest. We offer a rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum stretching from Early Years through to the Diploma Programme (DP). IVS maintains internationally benchmarked standards of teaching, learning, and assessment, ensuring consistency, rigour, and global recognition across all programmes.
A highly professional and internationally experienced faculty supports our community of over 15 nationalities. We seek educators with experience in IB or internationally benchmarked curricula (in India or abroad), specifically those who demonstrate strong pedagogical practice and a learner-centred approach that empowers students to lead.
IVS is an equal-opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, religion, race, or nationality.
At IVS, we believe teachers must experience learning as a lifelong process before they can inspire it in others. Our educators are devoted to helping our teachers embody the IB Learner Profile in both professional and personal growth.
