​

Al Fanar School is a Waldorf-inspired school in Dubai, built on the belief that education should develop the whole child—head, heart, and hands—through a rich, structured, and deeply engaging curriculum.

​

We are seeking a teacher who brings strong pedagogical understanding alongside a clear commitment to excellence. Our approach is not about acceleration, but about depth—ensuring that what is learned is truly understood and retained.

​

We have developed a beautiful community and sanctuary in Dubai, offering families something truly different.

​​

What We Offer

• Full-time position with a competitive salary (based on experience)
• UAE residency visa
• 30 days paid annual leave, plus one annual return flight
• A focused, values-driven school environment
• The opportunity to contribute to a growing school with clear educational intent

​

Living in Dubai

For those unfamiliar with the UAE, Dubai may seem an unlikely home for a school rooted in Waldorf values. However, we have built a community that is different, and Dubai offers much more than what is seen at the surface—the stillness of the desert at dawn, the wisdom woven through Bedouin culture, the mountains and mangroves, and endless coastline. There is beauty here and space for wonder—if you know where to look.

​​

Who This Role Would Suit

• A Waldorf-trained or Waldorf-aligned teacher with a strong academic foundation
• An educator who values depth of learning over surface coverage
• Someone confident in teaching core subjects to a high standard
• A teacher who brings clarity, structure, and purpose to their lessons
• A professional who is reflective, collaborative, and committed to continuous development

 

To apply, applicants should send:

 

• CV
• A short statement outlining their training and teaching philosophy
• Availability for an online interview
• Earliest possible start date
• Any relevant visa or passport information
