DISCOVER Middle East

The Middle-East sits at the intersection of three continents – Africa, Asia and Europe which is reflected in the ethnic and cultural diversity of the region. Due to its strategic geopolitical location, valuable resources, and historical, cultural and religious significance, the region is a bustling center for trade, commerce and a major travel destination.

Over 1.5 million students are attending international schools in the region, with 430 new schools opening up in the region in the past five years. The UAE leads the countries in the Middle East in terms of the number of international schools, with over 625 schools attracting teachers to its modern cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

TIE lists hundreds of jobs every year at top international schools across the Mid-East and one of them could be yours!
