Actually, we were looking at Australia as one of our options after 4 good IS's! Unfortunately, I gather that the states are no longer sponsoring teachers directly (or at least WA and NSW aren't) so you have to go through the whole visa process first, then look for jobs. Also, I think I am too old!
Salary-wise, I thing PsyGuy has a point. Pay is so good in Australia, despite taxes and cost of living, that unless you tumbled to a really good school you would take a financial hit. Obviously, money isn't everything, but still....

Once again, many of those options are on our radar. We were once courted by Aramco, but it was at a time in our lives when waiting for the May decision just did not appeal. Funnily enough, one of our sons aspires to a British boarding school, and a colleague of mine constantly whines about having left there because their kid now has to attend OUR school instead of taking that option!
I was surprised at the Concordia suggestion. Which one? I gather there are several?

Yup, ISB would be my number one choice in the world! We are also looking long and hard at UWCSEA and hoping for openings. Don't think we can afford to live at the other.....but we are very disciplined financially and would never refuse an offer without careful consideration. Thank you for your suggestions.

Best middle school in the world!

Hi Forum lurkers!
I am reposting my "recruiting 2014-15" under a different title to see if I can draw out a little more opinion.
Where do you think is the best Middle School (or in the British system, KS3) school? Somewhere that REALLY promotes the interests of the whole child. I am particularly interested to hear from those of you with kids......
Thank you
Nosey Parker
