Quality teaching & teachers
Outstanding Teachers
In Australia, teaching is a highly regarded profession that attracts creative, strong educators with integrity, a sense of purpose, and most importantly a desire to make a difference to the lives of young people. Rigorous professional standards govern entry into the teaching profession in Australia, and ongoing employment.
Most of the teachers at the Victoria International School of Sharjah have been employed from Australia, in particular from the State of Victoria. They are highly qualified (minimum four year university teaching qualification), fully registered as teachers in Australia, and have undergone a rigorous selection process.
