We're looking for passionate Early Years and Primary educators who believe in the power of nature-based learning.
Gede Forest School is a growing British curriculum school set within 25 acres of coastal forest in Watamu, Kenya. If you're an educator who thrives outdoors, values creativity, and wants to be part of something meaningful from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
We offer a close-knit, supportive team environment where teachers have the freedom to innovate and the backing to grow professionally.
Teach in open-air classrooms surrounded by nature, with a working farm and plant nursery on site.
Regular CPD, forest school training, and the chance to shape a brand-new curriculum from scratch.
A collaborative, family-like team where every voice matters and every idea is welcome.
A vibrant coastal community with beaches, marine parks, and a relaxed quality of life on the Kenyan coast.
Be part of a school that puts environmental stewardship and community impact at the heart of everything.
Design lessons that use the forest, farm, and local environment as your primary teaching resources.
We're always interested in hearing from talented educators, even if we don't have a specific vacancy listed. Send us your CV and a short cover letter telling us why you'd love to teach in the forest.
