Grade 1 Teacher

Alma Forest School is recruiting a Grade 1 Teacher to start in September 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an exciting school in southern Spain. We are only able to employ EU citizens. Alma Forest is a new and growing school currently home to 120 students aged 3-13 with 25+ nationalities represented amongst the student body. As we grow, we will add one class every year until we reach the end of Middle School, age 14 with a High School in the works. Our maximum class size is 15 and the maximum enrollment at the school will be 180. Located on a Spanish Finca just outside of Sotogrande, we have the good fortune to enjoy not only expansive views across to Gibraltar and Morocco but also fields to play on, trees to climb and animals to care for. In addition to this we make good use of the surrounding natural parks and beaches to immerse our learning in the natural environment. We value discovery over teaching. Our curriculum explodes boundaries and disciplines so that our students can follow their interests and marvel at all the world has to offer. Co-creating journeys of discovery with our students lies at the heart of what we do. As a community of learners, we value an open and honest exchange of ideas and build relationships based on a shared humanity, with all its flaws, rather than identities centered around being a ‘teacher’ or ‘student’. As a tribe, we make Alma Forest a home where we can all come to know ourselves better and develop a life-long love of learning and discovery. Internationally accredited and staffed by experienced educators, we ensure that our students are given ample opportunities to develop academically while embarking on these journeys of discovery. Small class sizes and an intentionally small school enable us to support each student individually, allowing them to work at a pace suited to their level of maturity and developmental needs. We are looking for an educator who: enjoys spending time with children (Would you sit with
