This school is based in Havana, Cuba and is looking for Secondary Mathematics and Science Teachers with the ability to teach IB and IGCSE programs
The school was founded by Ms. Phyllis Powers M.B.E. Ms. Powers came from Great Britain and she settled in Havana in the early 1950s as a governess and teacher of English. Ms. Powers opened the doors of the Hillside School – as it stood on a hill – in 1965, to just 10 students. The Hillside School was a very small place – just a small house in fact, that was located on Calle 39 between 44 and 46 in Playa.
In 1974 a group of about 10 Embassies and other foreign entities, including the United Nations, formed a representative committee and reached an agreement with government authorities to recognize the school, under the name of the “Foreign Students School”, to provide education to the children of the expatriate diplomatic community who were temporarily residing in Cuba. The school had become a little larger by 1974 and so was moved to a new location made up of two houses on Calle 70 and Avenida 7A in Miramar. Ms. Powers remained as the Principal until her retirement in 1982 after 17 years of service.
The ability to teach another subject at Middle School level would provide a candidate with a distinct advantage.
