At NYA, we are committed to hiring great teachers and providing an engaging, fun and stimulating work environment. Our experienced teachers currently come from six countries and bring their own expertise and culture with them.

Our teachers are a crucial part of our school community. It is an exciting time to teach at NYA as we expand our school and work on implementing cutting-edge progressive teaching practices. We look for teachers who are excited about implementing new techniques in their classrooms and being part of a dynamic, growing organization.

New York Academy maintains membership with several professional organizations, including EARCOS (East Asia Regional Colleges Schools), TAISI (The Association of Independent Schools in India), PTC (Principals Training Center), and WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges).

New York Academy brings to campus experts to conduct workshops and trainings, and teachers and administrators are provided the opportunity to attend professional conferences annually. We have established a Professional Learning Community (PLC) protocols and routines.  Our teachers collaborate regularly as part of our PLC schedule.

We are committed to helping our teachers continue to learn and develop their teaching practice.
