"We are looking for native speaker teachers who see their role as a mission. They understand that every child in the class is the most important person in the world to someone." 

— Kristýna Sovinská, Director of Maple Bear Prague 

Welcome to Maple Bear!

We are a bilingual school full of joy, discovery, hands-on learning, and inspiration. We are the world's largest network of schools built on the Canadian educational curriculum and methods. Canadian standards are adapted to the Czech education system. 

In 2024, we opened the first Maple Bear school in Czechia. We are growing, and that's why we are looking for primary school teachers. We seek bold, passionate, and creative educators—those ready not only to teach children but also to develop themselves. 

We teach in tandem (a Czech-speaking and an English-speaking teacher) in beautiful, modern school at the Kavčí Hory Office Park. 

What will you do?

  • You will be teaching a first-grade class—children who are curious, full of energy, and excited for every new adventure. 

  • Your task will be to prepare engaging and fun activities that help students master the curriculum according to Czech educational standards while introducing them to the Maple Bear approach. 

  • A key focus will be to spark their enthusiasm for discovery and learning—both in Czech and English. Some subjects are taught in Czech, while others are delivered directly in English. 

  • You won’t be alone! Most of the time, you will work in tandem with a colleague responsible for the Czech curriculum, allowing for mutual support and inspiration. 

  • So, what do you think? Are you ready to become their guide on the path to knowledge? 😊 

Your responsibilities as a teacher at Maple Bear

  • Plan and deliver lessons that blend the best of Czech and Canadian educational approaches—ensuring learning is engaging and enjoyable. 

  • Create a warm and safe classroom environment where children establish routines and classroom rules together. 

  • Track student progress and find ways to support their growth further. 

  • Help children discover their strengths and skills, allowing them to reach their full potential. 

  • Keep records of students’ achievements and regularly share this information with parents to involve them in their child's progress. 

  • Explain to parents how our program works and maintain ongoing communication with them. 

  • This is a meaningful job—every day, you influence how children learn, grow, and develop a love for knowledge! 😊 

What we expect from you

  • A degree in education (preferably for primary school teaching)—fresh graduates are welcome, and we’ll support you at the start. 

  • TEFL exam is NOT relevant. 

  • A desire to keep learning, growing, and trying new things. 

  • Team spirit—collaboration is key since we often work in teaching tandems. 

  • A passion for working with children, a friendly and positive attitude—kids can sense this right away! 

  • Willingness to participate in school events and gatherings—because school is about more than just lessons. 

What you can expect from us

  • Support from our director, Kris, our academic coordinator, Renata and your colleagues—as well as experts from the global Maple Bear network. 

  • A fair salary reflecting your work and experience. 

  • Honest and transparent communication, always straight to the point. 

  • Standard school holidays, so you won’t miss out on well-deserved rest. 

  • A modern and inspiring work environment—our classrooms at Kavčí Hory Office Park will surely impress you. 

  • Employment starting in July or August 2025—with an intensive summer training in Maple Bear methodology, led by Canadian professionals. 

We’d love to hear what excites you about Maple Bear and any concerns you might have—please include this with your CV. 

We look forward to your CV!
