Local expatriate faculty are those already residing in Shanghai holding a foreign passport. Their decision for coming to Shanghai may be to accompany a spouse or partner who will be working in Shanghai, or any other circumstance that would cause them to be here prior to the hiring process. (The one exception: Teachers who are employed at another international school within Shanghai and are receiving an overseas hire package may receive an overseas contract with Concordia. The teacher’s present employer must verify in writing that the teacher is currently receiving an overseas hire package, as per benefits noted in the overseas hire list of benefits, and acknowledge that the teacher is free to consider a contract with Concordia.) Applications are received throughout the year. Please state you are a local expatriate when sending us your application.
