There's a job for HS Vocal right now with ISKL, and have interviewed already...just waiting for them to go to the States for the Search Fair...worried they'll find someone with much more American experience (and thus, choral, experience, as the Brits do general music in the classroom). Thanks for the vote of confidence, though!

Moving from the British to the American System

I have been working in a British/IB setting for the past 13 years (2 schools, one IB/British for 9 years, one British (A levels) for 4 years). I am looking to move into an American system for various reasons - one daughter in middle school now, want to move into American system before eventually moving back to the States.
Do I have a chance!!!??? Am a Music teacher (choral), have been Head of Music and Dir. of Choral (in the British A level school) and have applied to ISKL and ISM (trying to stay in Asia) with no joy in Manila (looking for strings) and waiting on ISKL. How realistic am I to think I might have a shot? Is my choral experience enough for one of the "big schools" like ISKL?
