Head Teacher - English Language Arts (American Curriculum)
Role Overview
We’re hiring an exceptional Head of English Language Arts (ELA) to help build and lead a new American high school offering in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is a rare opportunity to help shape an academic program from the ground up - designing a rigorous, engaging, and tech-enabled ELA program while helping redefine the future of excellent teaching.
The head of ELA will own the end-to-end development of the ELA program, including curriculum design, instructional approach, assessment, pacing, and teacher support, while also directly teaching one of the courses. This is not a traditional “plug-and-play” teaching role. We operate a highly interactive hybrid learning model that combines world-class remote teachers, in-class facilitators, and technology-enabled learning.
Note that this role may be remote; relocation is not required.
What You’ll Do
Design ELA course including its curriculum (units, lesson plans, assessments, homework, etc.) for Noon’s hybrid teaching platform. We are launching with Grade 9 and 10 in Fall of 2026 so those grade levels will be the immediate priorities between now and August.
Lead, train, and facilitate other ELA teachers in delivering the content.
Deliver one section of the online ELA lessons (beginning in August) aligned to our curriculum and learning outcomes
Design, adapt, and improve lessons and materials on an ongoing basis
Use EdTech and digital tools to drive engagement, differentiation, and participation
Collaborate with the wider team to refine curriculum, delivery methods, and learning journeys
Must-Have Requirements
Experience designing International American high school ELA curriculum aligned to CCSS standards
Experience designing and/or delivering ELA curriculum for students for whom English may be a second language
Recognized teaching qualification (BA/MA in subject area, TESOL, CELTA, etc.)
5+ Years of experience
Able to work full-time Sunday to Thursday (GMT +3). [There may be flexibility to work a half-day Sunday morning & half-day Friday if preferable to working Sunday.]
Experience teaching online groups of 5+ students
Native English speaker from English-speaking country (e.g., US, UK, South Africa, Australia)
Reliable internet and a professional video setup
Highly Advantageous
Familiarity with AI or emerging EdTech tools and resources in teaching ELA
Arabic language ability
Experience designing and/or delivering ELA curriculum within a Muslim context
What We’re Really Looking For
Someone who feels up for the challenging of designing & delivering an excellent ELA curriculum for Grade 9 and 10 by August 2026
Someone who feels comfortable owning ELA program development, teacher training, and course delivery end-to-end.
Someone who is passionate about shaping the future of education and is excited to incorporate cutting-edge technological tools and methodologies into teaching.
Who This Role Is (and Isn’t) For
Ideal for: Experienced Head of ELA in American International schools who wants a challenge, enjoys experimentation, and is motivated by building something new
Not for: Those who rely on rigid methods, or cookie-cutter delivery
If you’re a motivated self-starter excited by dynamic environments and unique teaching models, this role is for you.
Other details:
This role may be remote or hybrid (if the individual is based in KSA).
We are looking for someone who can start immediately.
