Will an international school employ me if I've got children?

Yes they will! You may have some trouble if you’ve got 7 kids and you’re a single parent, or something similar, simply because the recruiters know you probably won’t be able to manage on a single teacher’s salary and allowances.

Contracts for overseas hired teachers often include such perks as free tuition for your children (often limited to two, but not always), so you’ll get a private education for your children too.

It's safe to say that, within reason, teachers with children are in no way penalised for having children. In fact some schools prefer to employ teachers with children because families are believed to be more stable in the international education environment.
