A Global Opportunity -by Diane Jacoutot, general manager of Teachanywhere.com

International schools exist to provide an education to children using a different language and/or curriculum to the host country. There are over 5000 international schools worldwide, with at least 300 new schools opening each year, most serving a full age range from 3 to 18. .

The original international schools were developed to serve the children of diplomats, but now most international schools serve a more local population of children whose parents want them to have an international education, often so that they can attend university in a western country such as the US or UK.

International schools are usually quite academic with small class sizes and supportive parents.  Employment packages vary widely, as does the cost of living, but teachers can enjoy tax free salaries, free housing, flights and financial bonuses.

All international schools must conform to local immigration and teacher training requirements, on top of each schools individual preference making the process of finding a job internationally confusing for many. Most teachers find that using a reputable specialist agency such as Teachanywhere.com whose services are free to teachers essential to finding the right match.
