International Schools - Secure a Private Education for Your Children Without Paying Any School Fees

Pick a country, any country, and there will be at least one international school there. Over 4000 International Schools offer private education for expatriate’s children worldwide. And, while most of the parents have to pay school fees, one of the conditions nearly always included in the contracts of international teachers is free education for the teachers’ children.

International schools need international teachers to staff them, that's where you come in! Did you know that you could secure a private education for your children without paying outrageous school fees? One of the contract conditions that is included in nearly all overseas hire teaching contracts is free education for the teachers children (sometimes limited to two children only).

Picking an international school abroad that suits both your children’s needs and yours can be challenging, but it is possible. In a recent interview I conducted with international teachers, Maggie Hos-McGrane, an international teacher of 19 years experience said that after she had completed her research she’d found only 30 of the more than 4000 international schools suited both her and her children.

There are a number of things you need to consider when you are looking at a teaching job abroad, and over the next few days I'll be talking about several of them.
