Peponi School is an international, co-educational school in Kenya set about twenty-five kilometres outside Nairobi near Ruiru.
It was founded in 1989 and has been very fortunate to enjoy very early success and would now be rated amongst the best schools in the Kenyan education system.
Peponi follows the British system through to IGCSE and A level.
The School is situated in our own very spacious grounds on the beautiful Sukari ranch.
Our pupils have developed a fine reputation for success in the classroom, on the games field and for both Music and Drama.
Our unashamedly holistic approach, as a boarding school, is a key feature of our aims.
Extra-curricular activities are very much part of school life.
As one of the leading British curriculum schools in Kenya, we prepare our pupils for entry to universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
Most of our leavers enter Law, Economics, Science, Medical and Engineering courses.
Our success is now driving a substantial growth and Peponi is currently seeking to appoint, for September 2015, dynamic and inspirational teachers to lead both our outstanding Sports Department and our very successful and expanding English, Science and Language Departments.
1. Head of English
The English Department is one of our best and the ability to lead a strong team and to teach both Language to IGCSE and Literature to A level will be required.
2. Head of Science
The successful Head of Science candidate will be able to contribute to the teaching of at least two of the sciences to IGCSE level and have a specialism at A level and for Oxbridge preparation.
3. Head of Modern Foreign Languages
At Peponi, most study at least one language chosen from French, Spanish, German and Swahili.
The head of the department will be required to teach French to A level.
Spanish as a second language to IGCSE would be useful.
4. Director of Sport
Peponi School’s sports teams have an enviable and growing record and hold an impressive list of titles in a wide range of sports.
Our reputation for sportsmanship is even more important.
The Director of Sport will be expected to build on these and set new standards at the head a large department.
The ability to teach Physical Education as an academic subject will be required.
In addition, Peponi is currently seeking to appoint, for September 2015, teachers of:
5. Modern Foreign Languages Teachers
We are looking for a teacher of French or Spanish or, possibly, both.
Candidates must be experienced in the British curriculum and be able to teach up to IGCSE;
6. Business Studies Teachers
We require a teacher with experience of the British curriculum to teach Business Studies up to IGCSE level.
Both of these last two positions are likely to be part-time initially but, with our anticipated growth, successful applicants can expect that to change in the future.
Interested applicants should contact the school with a letter of application, CV and the contact details of two referees by e-mail before Tuesday, 27th January, 2015 to:
