About the Role
Noon - Education for Everyone is seeking a Head Teacher for English Language Arts (ELA) to play a key role in establishing and leading a new American high school program in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Continuous improvement of lessons and materials, leveraging educational technology and digital tools for enhanced engagement, differentiation, and participation, will be essential. Collaboration with the broader team to refine curriculum, delivery methods, and learning journeys is also a key aspect of this position.
