OUR PHILOSOPHY At Beau Soleil, we believe it's what you do that counts. This philosophy holds true in all that we do as staff and for our students. We are a community that believes in the power of action, engagement and participation, inside and outside of the classroom.
Our unique holistic education is built around four core values: Respect, Responsibility, Ambition and Determination, which provide a framework to community life for our international student body.
Our students come from over sixty different countries, with diverse academic backgrounds and a wide range of future aspirations.
With curricular programmes in both English and French, students graduate with an IB or High School Diploma. Within this framework, small class sizes allow for a flexible programme and staff are encouraged and supported to bring new ideas to all that they do.
OUR COMMUNITY Our location in the heart of Villars-sur-Ollon, offers an enviable lifestyle with access to skiing in the winter months and a multitude of outdoor and sporting activities throughout the year. Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva are all within easy reach for cultural adventures and inspiration.
The Beau Soleil campus is an inspiring place to work with facilities that are second to none. Our ongoing campus development and maintenence programme ensures that our students and staff thrive in an environment of which they can be rightly proud.
YOUR PROFILE At Beau Soleil, dance and drama are far more than subjects, they are powerful forms of expression, creativity, and connection. Through movement, storytelling, and performance, our students build confidence, empathy, and a strong sense of identity.
As a Teacher of Dance and Drama, you will join a vibrant and creative community where artistic exploration and personal development go hand in hand. Through our partnerships with The Juilliard School and the Nord Anglia Education global network, you will have the opportunity to enrich your teaching practice and bring world-class performing arts experiences into the classroom, while contributing to the continued development of the faculty.
You are passionate about inspiring young people from diverse backgrounds, bringing energy and imagination into every lesson, and nurturing each student's unique voice.
Whether introducing foundational techniques or guiding students towards confident performances, you encourage risk-taking, collaboration, and self-expression. You thrive in a dynamic environment, enjoy working across disciplines, and are excited to contribute to a rich co-curricular programme.
This role is ideal for a creative, forward-thinking educator who sets high expectations, embraces innovation, and is committed to developing students' confidence and performance skills. You are equally at ease in the studio, on stage, and within the wider school community, inspiring students to engage fully in the performing arts, with the opportunity to grow into a coordinating role within the faculty over time.
