At ISZN, our mission is to nurture students who are academically curious, globally minded, passionate about discovery, and eager to challenge themselves.
Our Primary and Secondary schools share a newly remodelled campus with modern facilities. Spacious, light-filled classrooms and state-of-the-art technology provide the foundation for a supportive and engaging learning environment.
By combining the latest teaching methods with first-class facilities and resources, we empower every student to reach their full potential across all areas of school life.
ISZN is the only international school in Zurich that combines the strengths of the British National Curriculum. In Primary, students are encouraged to develop a lifelong love of learning. The skills they gain during these formative years lay the groundwork for success in the Middle and Upper Years. Our secondary campus delivers the British curriculum to students up to Grade 12.
The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Head of Business Studies to join our fantastic team.
As Head of Business Studies, you will lead a dynamic and forward‑thinking department, shaping the strategic direction of Business Education across the British Curriculum, IGCSE, and A‑Level. You will oversee British Curriculum design to ensure it is rigorous, engaging, and aligned with UK examination standards while maintaining consistently high‑quality teaching and learning across the subject.
In this leadership role, you will guide, mentor, and support teachers through effective line management and professional development, fostering a collaborative and high‑performing departmental culture. You will use assessment data to monitor progress, drive improvement, and implement targeted interventions that strengthen student outcomes. Additionally, you will contribute to whole‑school initiatives, long‑term academic planning, and the wider student experience by supporting enrichment activities such as enterprise projects, competitions, and educational visits.
This is a permanent, full-time role with a proposed start date in August 2026.
We are seeking an inspiring and strategic leader with a strong passion for Business Education. You will bring robust subject expertise, proven success teaching British IGCSE and/or A‑Level Business Studies (or equivalent), and a track record of improving student attainment.
