Apply as a Teacher
We are looking for teachers who want to pass on the Chinese language, and the habits of careful work, to the next generation. Experience is welcome; so is the willingness to learn.
Teaching at the Chinese School of San Marino
We are a community school with more than forty years of history, accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. From kindergarten through AP, and from calligraphy through robotics, the programme rests on teachers who prepare carefully and support one another.
Classes here are small enough that you will know every child by name and see how far they have come across a year. The school provides materials and a curriculum framework so your effort goes into the teaching itself.
Where we welcome applications
General Chinese (K–Grade 8)
Streamed by level, balancing listening, speaking, reading and writing. Saturday mornings or weekday afternoons.
Chinese as a Second Language
For children whose first language is not Chinese. Small classes, focused on speaking and listening.
High School and AP Chinese
Credit-bearing courses for grades 9–12, including AP Chinese and cultural literacy.
Adult Mandarin
Our Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning — beginner and intermediate/advanced, weekday mornings.
Enrichment classes
Art, music, dance, dough figurines and more, mostly in the After School and Summer programmes.
STEM classes
Chess, math, speech, science and robotics.
How to apply
Email cssmmanager@gmail.com with "Teaching application" in the subject line, and include:
- A résumé covering any teaching or work with children
- The programmes and grade levels you would like to teach
- The times you are available — Saturday mornings, weekday afternoons, summer
- Any teaching credentials or training (not required)
We will be in touch to arrange a conversation and a trial lesson. If you are not sure which class suits you, write anyway and describe your background — we will work it out together.
