Bilingual Music Teacher

Cultura Inglesa Bilingual School (CIBS) is a school in the making — a pedagogical project built on Cultura Inglesa's decades of expertise in English teaching, bringing together academic excellence, intentional bilingualism and the holistic development of every child.

We're looking for professionals who want to help build, from the ground up, a coherent, rigorous, child-centred school culture.

Joining CIBS means becoming part of a community grounded in national and international frameworks, committed to ongoing professional development and to building a sound, ethical, best-practice approach to bilingual education.
