Are you looking for your next school leadership challenge in a dynamic, growing and values-driven family of international schools?

A member of the renowned Education in Motion (EiM) family of schools, Dulwich International High School Suzhou (DHSZ) is a thriving school community offering outstanding education to 750 students aged 14 to 18. DHSZ was founded in 2012 as a means for Chinese national students to have the opportunity to study a rigorous international curriculum based upon the Dulwich College London educational philosophy. The School is committed to academic achievement and holistic education, as well as to nurturing creativity and critical thinking so that students are prepared to thrive and succeed at DHSZ and beyond.

In its tenth year of operation, DHSZ is continuing to build on the excellent education offerings and strong student results that it has become known for. Reporting to the Director, the Deputy Director (Academic) will play a crucial role in this, driving forward teaching and learning excellence and supporting strategic and operational aspects of the school.

The Deputy Director (Academic) will be an adaptable self-starter with a track record of successful secondary leadership experience ideally gained as a Deputy Head. The successful candidate will possess the cultural awareness and global perspective to lead a diverse learning community. First-class communication skills with the ability to inspire students, staff and parents in the pursuit of excellence are essential, as is a genuine resonance with the DHSZ aims and ethos.
