Teaching jobs like this don’t come around often. The chance to know each child deeply because class sizes are deliberately small, one teacher for every seven children. To reimagine education for a rapidly changing world. To work alongside a deeply passionate and high-performing team of educators. To let your creative ideas flow and actually bring them to life.

Do you love teaching but feel boxed in by your current role? Do you find yourself imagining what school could look like if teachers had more freedom, students received more individual attention, and learning were designed around curiosity as well as academic depth?
At Lumos School (a small bilingual school unlike any other) you’ll teach in a nurturing environment with extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratios of approximately 1:7, a highly collaborative team, and the autonomy to do some of the best work of your career.
As a Senior Primary Teacher in our grades 1–3 classroom, you’ll work alongside an experienced German-speaking primary teacher as part of a two-teacher classroom model. Together, you’ll share responsibility for the learning, development and day-to-day experience of our youngest students.
You’ll bring particular strength to the English side of our bilingual program, while also sharing responsibility across the broader grades 1–3 learning experience.
You’ll also serve as a personal learning coach for a small group of students and help us continue developing one of Zürich’s most innovative, personalized and high-quality learning environments.
Our founders know what it takes to build a school because they’ve done it before.
They created an innovative school in the US in 2020 that now serves 900+ students and is considered one of the country’s strongest project-based schools (www.joinprisma.com).
After moving to Zürich, they searched for a school that would prepare their three children for a rapidly changing world and nurture their confidence, curiosity and love of learning. Not finding the right fit, they chose to create one.
Our team brings together international expertise, deep teaching experience and a shared belief that school can be both rigorous and joyful.
