German International School Boston is located in one of the oldest and most vibrant cities in the United States. With its unmistakable identity as a dynamic city for international businesses, researchers, and professionals, Boston and neighboring Cambridge offer endless opportunities to visit museums, concert halls, restaurants, sporting venues, and much more.
The city provides access to world-class healthcare, shopping and there is always something to do, including visiting the Boston Commons, the Boston Gardens, Fenway Park, the Hatshell, the Beacon Hill neighborhood, and the Charles River. The ocean is never far away and the white beaches of Cape Cod are just a few hours away from the city. Staff can also take advantage of the many school-sponsored events such as the Christkindlmarkt, Oktoberfest, outings on the Charles River, and more!

Benefits
GISB offers an excellent benefits package for our benefits-eligible employees, including:
Qualification Requirements
Preschool or kindergarten teachers must have native-level German language skills, hold a Bachelor’s degree, and have a minimum of two years of full-time teaching experience in an active, hands-on, early education setting.
Teachers in grades 1 – 12 must have passed both First and Second State Exams for elementary and/or secondary education, or equivalent.
Clarifying information for non-German applicants: In Germany, teacher training for Grades 1 – 12 consists of four to five years of undergraduate education followed by a two-year graduate course (equivalent to an M.A. in Education.) Aspiring teachers then take the First State Exam and, if they pass, engage in two further years of training as a student teacher before taking the Second State Exam to become a nationally-certified teachers. We, therefore, consider the U.S. equivalent for the Second State Exam to be a Ph.D.
Additional Qualifications:
The Minimum Qualifications for a teaching position at GISB are a Bachelor’s degree and two years of full-time teaching experience. We prefer a Master’s degree and at least two years of full-time teaching experience in early childhood, elementary, or secondary education.
