Thanks PsyGuy. I have the option of London or Bak. My worry is that I will leave Bak without an offer.

My profile:
5 years teaching experience (3 years in PYP).
Currently teaching in Asia (and looking for a position in SE Asia)
Male, mid 30s (single)

Which fair would give me the best coverage/chance?

I am considering London in January, or either of the Bangkok fairs.

Which would you guys recommend?

Thanks for the replys. I am not put off by the Chinese make up of the pupil body.

It does sound like a school that is growing fast and will have PYP and IB certification soon. This is important to me.

I might just give it a go.

I am about to start applying for schools for next year. I have come across this school. Is it a good place to work? Supportive? work load?

Any info. very appreciated.

Thanks.

I may have an opportunity to working at this school. I have read the reviews and they dont seem good (although the reviews are for the Setia Park branch). I do know that many reviewers are disgruntled and may have an axe to grind.

Anyone know anything about this school?

Psyguy, that is a great reply to this thread. Covers all bases.

I am moving to Shanghai in August. I reckon I will bring with me some anti-perspirant (5 -6 cans), a few bottles each of shampoo and show gel and some replacement razors.

Nope. Waiting back from them. Why? You know anything about the school?

when you say 'low', how low do you mean?

I know they are a Primary school in HCM that teach the UK curriculum. I have seen them advertise, and am tempted to apply.

They a 2nd -3rd tier school with low pay? Or do they pay competitively?

Better than RISS?

Regards,
Ari.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Seems like a good place to start with.

134 views and not a single reply. Come on guys, someone must know something about the place.

Anyone know anything about the Western International School, Shanghai?

May have an interview with them.

It's a 2nd/3rd tier school teaching the British curriculum. Salaries around 70k (thai baht a month) and up. Not anywhere near to the top schools like Patana and ISB.

Sounds like a decent school. I have the chance to interview with this school. As far as I know they offer instruction in English as well. The biggest problem is that I am not sure how this would look on my CV when I want to apply to English speaking international schools in the future.

By the way, are French international schools quite common?
