About Akademeia:
Akademeia High School is an academically-selective school in Warsaw, offering IGCSEs and A Levels alongside Akademeia Assessed Courses. The majority of our students are preparing to study at either Oxbridge or the Ivy League, or at Russell group universities, as well as internationally acclaimed architecture, art and music schools.

You will also support students in the planning and delivery of major pieces of work, such as external coursework, as well as developing their wider essay and transactional writing skills.
In tandem with the wider department, you will take an active role in promoting and encouraging the development of literacy throughout the school, both by personal example and through community-engagement projects conducted with students.
Wherever possible, you will seek to collaborate with related departments, such as Drama, to enrich students’ understanding and appreciation of a wide range of literary genres.
