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.
