Thanks a lot. That's really helpful and interesting.

Are there any benefits (to pay, specifically) from having experience in an IB system? Trying to figure out if higher education is our only "asset" that might be worth a premium.

Thanks much.

Thanks for your reply.

Was there any particular qualification or other part of your CV that moved you and your wife to the top of the pay scale?

Once you've been placed on the salary grid on hire, can you expect an annual bump in salary, or are there less frequent increases? Is there a tenure at which increases stop -- irrespective of how long you've been at the school?

Thanks kindly.

Hi all,

My husband and I are new to the international schools scene. I'm very curious about the relevance & value of a higher degree toward getting a better salary.

Could you share with me how your school scales salaries for teachers based upon experience teaching, years at the school, and qualifications/ certifications?

I'm looking at the British system in particular, but any experiences from US or IB curriculum schools are helpful.

Thanks!
