Literature Teacher

Shanghai, China

About Company:

Founded in 2014 in a cozy 30-square-meter book nook in Shanghai, Storyland has blossomed into a pioneering educational brand. Over the past decade, we have grown into a global community of educators and creators from over ten countries, united by a passion for child-centered learning.



At Storyland, we believe every child holds a universe of stories waiting to be told. We blend Eastern and Western educational wisdom with deep partnerships with top international children's publishers to craft original, hands-on curricula. Our comprehensive bilingual program for ages 6 to 15 seamlessly integrates language, humanities, and creative thinking. Through immersive reading, writing, inquiry, and boundless imagination, we nurture both the intellect and the heart, guiding children to observe, explore, and create at their own pace.



We are a diverse, global family where every team member shines with their own unique sparkle. We celebrate differences and believe in lifelong reading, creating, and growing. We empower our professionals to think independently, lead with confidence, and pursue work that truly excites them. By fostering a culture of self-discipline, collaboration, and shared purpose, we walk alongside every child, helping them shine bright as their truest selves.
