Information about Employment in DAS
Summary
Dhahran Ahliyya Schools (DAS) is
searching for qualified, enthusiastic faculty members who
will participate in the school's drive for continuous
improvement.
DAS is a not-for-profit, preK –12
school near the coast of the Arabian-Persian Gulf in Saudi
Arabia. Founded in 1977 as an Arabic school, it has now
achieved US accreditation (NCA) so it can move gradually
toward becoming a dual-language school (Arabic and English).
With more than 1760 students in a modern girls' school and
boys' school side by side, DAS is now able to offer both a
Saudi diploma and an American diploma.
The school's welcoming professional
learning community aims to develop compassionate 21rst
century citizens and to contribute to the development of
education in the Arab world. Absolutely committed to
continuous progress in student learning, the DAS strategy
for achieving it is to involve all teachers in an ongoing
program of individual and collaborative professional
development. PD courses are based on current educational
research in the US that has been translated and made
available in both languages. Individual teacher's progress
is supported, evaluated and rewarded with movement up the
salary scale when student learning is enhanced through the
use of improved strategies applied consistently and
appropriately in the classroom.
DAS currently requires qualified
English speaking teachers with at least two years of
teaching experience to teach Upper English at the
intermediate/secondary grades in both schools. We are also
keen to hire school counselors with experience of teaching
other subjects. For the Boys’ school specifically, we are
looking for elementary teachers for grades 3-4 and also
grades 5-6. We are particularly keen to find teachers with
experience of teaching English, with also geography, or
science and math, or a mixture of these subjects if
possible. The Boys’ school also needs a History/Social
Studies Teacher who specializes in world/non-western
history and global issues.. For the Girls School, we require
elementary teachers, a Chemistry Teacher for and a Physics
Teacher for the intermediate/secondary grade.”
Starting salaries for teachers hired

furnished housing, medical insurance, annual re-patriation
tickets and 50% discount for up to three children at DAS.
