At CIS, we value open-minded and well-qualified professionals who are enthusiastic about contributing to a diverse, innovative learning environment.

CIS offers a tuition fee reduction for employees’ children.
In accordance with German tax law, this benefit is considered a ‘Geldwerter Vorteil’ (benefit in kind). The financial value of the tuition reduction is legally added to your gross salary, and taxes are calculated accordingly. This is a standard procedure in Germany for such non-cash benefits. Further information is available during the interview process.

We welcome qualified teachers of all nationalities. To work in Germany, a valid work visa is essential. We will assist in applying for visas when required. This can be a standard Residence Permit, the EU Blue Card for highly-qualified professionals, or the new Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) for job seekers.

CIS offers a collaborative, supportive, and internationally-minded work environment. Staff members benefit from a diverse community, shared values, and a culture that encourages innovation, professional growth, and student-centered learning.
