Careers at Fahari
We Are Not Hiring Classroom Managers. We Are Appointing People Whose Character Will Shape a Generation.
Teaching at Fahari is demanding. It is also, we believe, the most significant professional investment you will ever make in yourself.
The Fahari Teacher
Who We Are Looking For
This is not a job description checklist. It is a description of a person \u2014 the person we are trying to find, form, and keep.
Faith That Shapes Practice
Not a statement of denominational membership, but evidence that faith is a living influence on how they treat people, handle adversity, and understand their work.
Uadilifu — Integrity in Small Things
The teacher who marks 35 books thoroughly on a Sunday evening when they could mark them carelessly. Who acknowledges an error to a class without flinching.
Curiosity That Never Stopped
A teacher who reads. Who follows current affairs. Who can name the last three things that surprised them in their subject. Curious teachers build curious learners.
African Identity That Is Owned
A teacher who can name an African scientist, philosopher, or mathematician in their field without being prompted. Fahari cannot be taught by people who are apologetic about Africa.
Reflective Practice Already Present
Can they describe a lesson that did not work and tell you exactly why, and exactly what they changed? Reflection at the level of analysis, not just description.
Hunger to Be Better
The experienced teacher who is still hungry and the new teacher whose hunger is palpable. The teacher who believes they have nothing to learn is a danger to every learner in their care.

Telephone Conversation

Demonstration Lesson

Open Positions

We are not currently advertising specific vacancies but welcome speculative applications from exceptional teachers who resonate with the Fahari Model. If you have read our guiding documents and thought “this is the school I have been looking for” \u2014 we would like to hear from you.
Send a Speculative ApplicationA Word to Applicants
If you are reading this page and something in it stirs you \u2014 not just professionally, but personally \u2014 then you may be exactly the kind of teacher we are looking for.
We are not looking for perfection. We are looking for people whose character is genuine, whose calling is real, and whose hunger to grow is visible. People who will teach with their whole selves, not just their qualifications.
The work will be demanding. The standards will be high. But you will be supported, invested in, and surrounded by colleagues who share your conviction that teaching is sacred work.
Come. Panda Juu. Tazama Mbali.
