We are seeking a full-time Teacher of Music to inspire students in both Junior and Senior Schools. The primary responsibility of this role is to deliver engaging music lessons across a diverse range of abilities and ages while overseeing our peripatetic teaching team. Key responsibilities include:
The ideal candidate is a fully qualified teacher with at least two years of experience in international education, and a musician proficient in teaching at least two instruments to a high level.
At Le Régent, students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 receive one or two periods of music each week, complemented by a variety of extracurricular opportunities such as choirs, bands, orchestras, instrumental lessons, and other optional clubs. From Grade 9 onward, music becomes an elective in the pre-IB, IB Diploma, or Le Régent Certificate pathway.
With the adoption of the IPC and transition to the IMYC, music education integrates recognized pedagogies with progressive, hands-on approaches and transdisciplinary opportunities. In secondary school, the curriculum aligns with IB Music, ensuring a seamless transition to the Diploma program. Music technology and production are key components, alongside internationally recognized instrumental qualifications (ABRSM, Trinity College London), supporting students' development as performers, creators, and leaders across various musical genres.
Situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps at 1,500 meters, Le Régent offers a unique multi-dimensional education that engages the head, heart, and hands. Our students are empowered to discover their talents and passion for life, while being challenged with demanding academic and outdoor education curricula. This approach fosters intellectual growth, nurtures character development, and equips students with practical skills.
Our educational philosophy is rooted in intercultural understanding, emphasizing student well-being as the core of our mission. In a highly international, close-knit community with a family-like atmosphere, students have countless opportunities to take on leadership roles and grow into responsible global citizens eager to shape the future with confidence. By the time they depart from Le Régent, students are well-informed about themselves and the world and are equipped to navigate life beyond school as responsible, resilient, and caring individuals.
Pastoral care is central to our approach. Our dedicated academic and pastoral teams collaborate to create a nurturing and welcoming environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. For our boarders, this translates into a true home away from home, where they are encouraged to explore their passions, develop their talents, and forge meaningful, lifelong connections with peers and educators.
Our 2024 IB results have consistently surpassed the global average, with graduates securing placements at prestigious universities worldwide.
Le Régent is an Eco-School, a CIS member, and an official examination centre for the IB Diploma Programme, DELF, SATs, and IELTS.
We reserve the right to appoint the right candidate ahead of the closing date. The appointment is set to take effect from the 26th of August 2025.

Third-Country Nationals (non EU/EFTA): It is important for third-country nationals to understand that obtaining a work permit is a lengthy process with stricter regulations compared to EU/EFTA nationals. While we may consider appointing a third-country national, preference will be given to candidates who hold a Swiss residence permit or an EU/EFTA passport.
