Primary School Teacher -Green School New Zealand

Imagine teaching somewhere truly different.

Imagine your classroom surrounded by nature. Imagine learners who arrive excited to learn. Imagine being part of a school where creativity, adventure and purpose are part of everyday life.

Green School New Zealand is offering a rare opportunity for an exceptional Primary School Teacher to join our community in one of the most unique educational settings in the world.

Our learners come from a wonderfully diverse range of nationalities, cultures and backgrounds, bringing an international richness to every classroom. They are curious, engaged and genuinely love to learn. Teaching here means working with children who are encouraged to ask big questions, explore their passions and connect their learning to the real world.

Set within our extraordinary campus in Taranaki, Green School New Zealand offers an environment unlike a traditional school. Nature is not simply something learners study — it is part of the classroom. Our world-renowned approach brings together strong learning, creativity, innovation, sustainability, wellbeing and meaningful experiences .

You will also become part of a warm and collaborative community, with supportive parents who value education and actively engage with their child’s learning, alongside colleagues who care deeply about what they do.

And there is space to live well too. Our school year includes a Wellness Day, and extended term break in the middle of the year, giving you the opportunity to explore New Zealand, travel further afield or simply enjoy everything this remarkable part of the world has to offer.

For the right teacher, this is more than another job. It is the chance to live and teach in New Zealand, work with an inspiring community and experience an approach to education that is meaningful.

This could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join Green School New Zealand.

This is a full time and fixed term (2 years) teaching position, starting Jan. 28th, 2027.

Job Closes Oct. 27th 2027, candidates maybe contacted before then.
