Windhoek International School is Hiring

Work @ WIS 

Since the year of Namibia’s independence in 1990, Windhoek International School has provided a world class education within a stimulating environment of academic excellence, cultural diversity, and active social responsibility.

​We are searching for passionate, inspiring, and experienced educators.

Teachers and staff at WIS are professional, fun-loving, and representative of the diverse and international ethos of our learning community.

We understand that students learn best when they feel known, challenged, and supported by adults they admire and respect – surrounded by an institution that insists on both excellence and kindness.

The school has 90 teachers, educational assistants, specialists, and administrators who hold around 20 different passports.

Namibia is an amazing place to live and work, and staff often stay at the school for many years. 

Windhoek International School is an equal-opportunity employer. Preference, however, is given to equally qualified citizens or permanent residents of Namibia and from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. The school abides by a published teacher salary and credit scale and staff at WIS benefit from a pension contribution, the school’s medical insurance scheme (NMC), and Windhoek’s high quality of life and low cost of living.  ​​
