Mathematics Teacher

**General**

Mathematics is a strong and dynamic department at the school, offering both IGCSE and IB. Pupils routinely achieve excellent results in public examinations. Experience with the IB is preferred, though not essential for this role.

**About us**:
St. Paul’s was founded in 1926 and was the first school in South America to receive accreditation from the UK government as a British School Oversees. Fully coeducational, with about 1,000 pupils, aged from 3 to 18, it is a school with history and tradition, but which embraces innovation, contemporary values and the latest in digital learning. We are a world-class school, and an international member of HMC and IAPS, and a member of COBIS and the LAHC. We are proud of our local, national and international reputation and we constantly strive to improve the opportunities for our pupils and staff. Our recent BSO inspection judged us as a leading British School overseas, and you can download the report from our website. Our exceptional facilities place teaching and learning at the heart of the school.

**The Mathematics Department**

In Forms 1 to 2 (English National Curriculum Years 7 to 8), pupils follow an enhanced version of the English National Curriculum. Investigative activities are included throughout the year and contribute to pupils’ final marks.

Pupils in Form 3 (Year 9), Forms 4 and 5 (Years 10 and 11) are prepared for the Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics examination (without coursework). This approach allows the department to challenge the most able pupils, support those who require it, and provide a varied and engaging learning experience.

In the Sixth Form, we offer both IB Diploma Mathematics courses: _Analysis and Approaches_ and _Applications and Interpretations_, at both Higher and Standard Level.
