Teacher Recruitment
Teacher recruitment is based on merit and on a teacher's skills, experience and background, as well as how the applicant's curriculum vitae matches the requirements of the school. Teacher's are expected to possess a Masters degree in the relevant subject area with a minimum second division result. Following a written test, short-listed candidates are called for an interview.

An active programme of professional development of teachers is an essential part of the School's overall programme for continuous improvement. The School actively participates in various activities of the International Academic Partnership, which comprises Phillips Academy Andover, USA, the Schule Schloss Salem in Germany, the Aga Khan University ’s Institute for Educational Development in Pakistan and Aga Khan Education Services.
Teachers also attend the Professional Development Centre, North (PDCN) to attend mentoring courses. The teaching staff also visits various renowned institutions in private and public sector in the country to gain an in-depth understanding of the strengths of various school systems.
