Teachers for Atuarfik Kilaaseeraq in Maniitsoq

The school has approximately 334 students, 18 classes from 1st to 10th grade, 5 special classes, and AKT offerings. There are about 40 teachers associated with the school.

Atuarfik Kilaaseeraq is a school in development – both humanly, academically, and physically. The school is in the midst of a comprehensive renovation leading up to 2027, and teaching is currently taking place in various temporary educational environments around Maniitsoq.

We believe that good teaching makes a difference. At Atuarfik Kilaaseeraq, we see the teacher as much more than a subject matter expert. The teacher is an important adult in the students' daily lives and a central part of the community that the school is built upon. Therefore, relationships mean a lot to us – both between teacher and student, among colleagues, and in collaboration with families.

We believe that students develop best when they are met by clear adults, academic ambitions, humor, and care. At the same time, we believe that teaching becomes stronger when it is based on the students' interests, culture, and experiences from life outside of school. Therefore, we actively work to create connections between school life, leisure life, and the local community.

Maniitsoq is a town with a strong leisure and sports life, and the school continuously collaborates with associations, activities, and local actors. We want teachers who are eager to engage in this work and help create a school where children and young people experience a connection between teaching, community, and everyday life.

We also desire a school culture where leadership and staff collaborate closely on both the challenges of everyday life and the development of the school. An important pedagogical focus area at the school is a strong school-home collaboration and clear agreements with parents regarding the students' school life.

We work, among other things, with:

• strengthening reading, mathematics, and foreign languages,
• team collaboration and joint preparation,
• clear classroom management,
• and teaching that makes sense to the students.
• Teaching is organized with a focus on both academic achievement and well-being, and we emphasize that teachers have time for collaboration and preparation.

The school is in the midst of a major renovation

Atuarfik Kilaaseeraq is undergoing a comprehensive renovation due to previous issues with mold in the buildings.

The goal is not just new facilities, but a school with good and humane conditions where children and young people can thrive, learn, and develop well into the future.

Teaching is therefore temporarily taking place at several locations in the town:

• The youngest grades are located in Maliina
• The middle grades are located in Majoriaq
• The oldest grades are located in Mini Kollegiet
• The special classes are located in Klubben

This presents challenges in everyday life – but also a strong collegial community and the opportunity to help shape the future school in Maniitsoq.
