full-time job in Gwangju
Imagine stepping into a vibrant, diverse learning community where every child?s potential is nurtured with care, curiosity, and purpose. At KFS, an internationally recognized WASC-accredited school, we are redefining education by blending an American curriculum with a deep commitment to character development, global awareness, and inclusive excellence. From Pre-K through Grade 12, our students thrive in a multicultural environment where learning is not just about grades, but about becoming thoughtful, compassionate, and globally minded individuals.
We?re currently seeking a passionate, dedicated Elementary School Homeroom Teacher to join our dynamic team in Gwangju, South Korea. This is more than just a teaching position?it?s an opportunity to shape young minds during their most formative years. You?ll be the guiding light for a group of elementary students, fostering a classroom culture that celebrates diversity, encourages inquiry, and builds strong social and emotional foundations.
In this role, you?ll lead a homeroom class of young learners, creating a warm, structured, and joyful environment where students feel safe, seen, and inspired. Your day will be filled with meaningful interactions?designing engaging lessons that align with the American curriculum, integrating social-emotional learning and character education, and collaborating with fellow educators to support each student?s holistic growth. You?ll also play a key role in developing students? independence, responsibility, and sense of community.
We are looking for someone who is not only academically skilled but also deeply empathetic, culturally responsive, and committed to lifelong learning. You?ll be part of a supportive, professional school community that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
The competitive salary range of 230,000 to 295,000 KRW per month reflects the value we place on excellence in teaching. Gwangju offers a perfect balance of modern convenience and cultural richness?just a short train ride from Seoul, yet with a serene, historic charm that makes it a wonderful place to live and grow professionally.
If you?re ready to make a lasting impact on students? lives, contribute to a school that?s as committed to character as it is to academics, and embrace a rewarding career in a thriving international community, we invite you to apply. Come be the spark that ignites curiosity, kindness, and confidence in every child who walks through your classroom door.
