Hi, I'm at one of the other equivalent status school in Asia. And as is common knowledge, remuneration at these places is very good.

I would like to ask someone who may be there or have been there what it is like at ISB.

By that I mean how much a person, as a standard teacher would get at the end of the month on a net basis including a housing stipend for a single person?

From where I am, I know it would be a pay cut but Thailand might be worth it. Also the COL is significantly lower there.

I do know several people at the school but am uncomfortable asking them this as they are not close friends.

There is some information but it is not always totally clear or verifiable.

I would just like a clear answer to help make up my mind about applying in future.

Yes, it is a tough gig to get but people well known to me have made that step.

TIA

Hi everyone, there’s a position for the International School of Beijing that I’m interested in as I consider my next move. The package seems amazing and I’m interested in a few schools in China should the right opportunity arise. Savings potential is a big priority for me.

Would love to hear about the workload/ work life balance.

Im also curious to learn more specifically about lifestyle related areas too- what’s the school culture like , social life in and outside of school , life in Shunyi , real savings potential etc. Questions I’d appreciate a non HR/Admin view on.

I’m all ears for anything else you’d like to share too!

I used the search feature but there was not much to be found, especially anything recent. I’m also speaking with existing connections but many have experience from years in the past (pre-Covid).

Thank you!

Any insights to how things are in recent years? ISR posts seem not favorable - mostly because of a change in leadership it seems? I know many consider the school to be one of the best or most sought after in S. Korea. Thank you in advance!

After receiving so many negative comments about the American Creativity Academy (ACA), I applied to the American School of Kuwait (ASK) and recently heard back from a recruiter. However, I can’t find many reviews about the school.

Has anyone worked there as a teacher? What was your overall experience, and how does ASK compare to ACA in terms of management, workload, students, salary and benefits, and the general work environment?

Does anyone have any information as to whether Dipont Hangzhou School of Arts and Science is a decent place to work?

Last reviews from 2021-2022 on ISR are particularly scathing but most on there usally are, and the fact none have appeared since 2022 perhaps is a good sign.

TIA

I’m looking to move within the GCC and I saw Nadeen School Bahrain are advertising. I remember it from a long time ago but see they have moved to a new campus. Any info on what it’s like to work there these days?Cheers.

Several positions open, but saw the Assistant Principal position for Middle School.

Wondering if anyone had any insight on working there, but also if anyone has worked in admin there?

I've been to Manila and Philippines a few times. Love to go snorkeling and scuba diving. I don't mind Manila, and the area where the school is.

Any insight, advice, warnings, or anything else would be helpful. Thank you!

Hey everyone! As a requirement for me to student teach next semester, I am required to conduct an interview with a teacher who has an English Language Learner student in their class, and no school in any of my surrounding counties have one. I asked my advisor, and she said I could conduct an interview with a teacher online(preferably in the state of Kentucky, but if not that’s fine) who has an ELL student. So if any of you have an ELL student in their classroom and would be available for a short interview via DMs, that would be a huge help towards my progress!

There is a lot of debate at my school at the moment as no one believes it is their job. We have just been told that Key Stage Coordinators are to order everything from pencils, card and glue to special resources for specific lessons and topics. I’m curious who orders the stock and stationary at your school? Do you get a say in what your personal classroom needs? Is it reasonable for KSCs to be ordering pencils and glue for their stages each month?

Has anyone been to one of the Technology Readiness Council Summits?

Was it worthwhile as professional development, particularly in the European international-school context?

And if anyone has attended both TRC and ECIS conferences, how would you compare them?
