Students attending international schools almost always include key stage 5, also known as college, in the British sense of the word.<\/p>\n The curriculum defines the fundamental aspects of learning including the subjects to be taught, the knowledge, skills, and development with each subject. The level of ability students are expected to achieve in the subject, and lastly how students will be assessed. With that framework, schools are free to plan and organize lessons as they see fit.<\/p>\n Accreditation for\u00a0the National Curriculum for England comes directly from the UK Department of Education and includes a scheme for overseas schools, called BSO\u2019s (British Schools Overseas) to verify they meet the standards of UK schools.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][\/et_pb_tabs][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/teachingnomad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Taipei-Taiwan-view-over-mountain.png” background_position=”bottom_center” custom_padding=”57px||0px||false|false” filter_brightness=”119%” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” custom_margin=”-33px|||||” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_padding=”0px||50px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_cta title=”Why consider teaching in Taiwan?” button_text=”Click Here” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ header_font=”Lato|900|||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#1d1f20″ header_font_size=”34px” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_text_color=”#606262″ body_font_size=”16px” body_line_height=”1.4em” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false”]<\/p>\n Teaching jobs in Taiwan include preschool, kindergarten, elementary school, junior and senior high school, universities, and adult education.
