About the School and Program:

The International Baccalaureate (IB) program reflects the cultural diversity of our community that values academic rigour, language, diversity and global competence. Over the last ten years, our College has grown and developed into an inclusive community that has grasped its diversity and used it to create a learning place where all of our students can see themselves reflected. The adoption of the IB program, Primary Years (PYP), in years Prep to 6 and the Diploma in Years 11 and 12 has provided opportunities for our students to grow as global citizens with five languages being taught and students ever-focused on curiosity and open-mindedness. The introduction of the Middle Years program (MYP) in 2023 will complete our College as an IB World School.

The IB Diploma course is a rigorous but rewarding senior pathway that provides opportunities for dedicated students to engage with an internationally recognised curriculum providing high level tuition and including a focus on languages.

About the Role

The Diploma Programme Coordinator holds a respected position responsible for both pedagogical and administrative leadership within the programme and is the main point of contact between the College and the IB Organisation in Singapore.

The Diploma Programme Coordinator is responsible for leading the curriculum, supporting, teachers in the planning and teaching of subjects within the six groups of the programme, as well as the core of Creativity, Activity and Service, the Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge.

Extended Essay: Managing the Extended Essay process, from the initial meetings with the students through to uploading the final essays to the IB.

Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS): Working with the CAS Coordinator is an essential part of the role, facilitating the profile of CAS across the programme and the wider school, as well as working with each department are two examples of how the Coordinator can support the process.

Theory of Knowledge (TOK): The Diploma Programme Coordinator must similarly work closely with the TOK teachers to ensure that the skills of the course are also being taught across the whole curriculum.

Our IB Diploma Programme has a commitment to parent engagement hosting workshops to keep them informed of a wide range of issues from overviews to the core of the programme, assessment procedures, revision strategies and academic honesty, as well as sharing ideas on how parents can best support their students through the programme.

Assessment in the Diploma Programme includes external work, resulting in the Coordinator being responsible for supporting new and existing staff in the uploading process, including the necessary forms and dates the work is due. The Coordinator is also responsible for facilitating moderation, including sharing feedback from the IB from previous years.

The role of the Coordinator includes working with different stakeholders within the school who support the students in different areas of the programme, such as the tutors, diverse needs and college counsellors.

The role requires an experienced candidate with thorough knowledge of and passion for the IB system. The position is currently held by a highly capable and experienced educator who has led the programme from its inception 5 years ago.

A letter of introduction from the immediate previous school would be required if applying from an overseas institution.

For a full list of mandatory requirements please see the attached role description.

Interested? To apply:

  • Attach a brief resume including contact details for 2 referees (one of whom should be your current supervisor or understand your relevant previous work history)
