Anybody know anything?

I've posted this before but perhaps it was too early. Can anyone post the Bethesda fair school list? Thanks

Vanguard

Thanks!

Anyone have the latest on BFIS? I know the pay is not much and Barcelona is fairly expensive but has this changed in recent years? How are the academics/admin in secondary?

As a TC grad, where Caulkins is nothing short of a goddess, I would say the R/W Workshop is extremely rare in i-schools. Some teachers may practice it individually, but I have never seen it part of the formal curriculum.

"Although, as long as the rich associate international schools with social status, I think we'll be fine."

Yes, and we also will have sold our educational ethics to the devil.

The International School of Djibouti.

Grumpy, school please

Thanks for the recommendations, all. I've heard good things about UWC and am keen to look into them. I would like to stay in international schools rather than go the charity route. (I teach HS/IB English right now.) It just seems so absurd to me that i-schools have not realized, or don't care to realize, that they are in a position to extend an education to all levels of society in many of the countries in which they work. In fact, some i-schools are the ONLY place that can happen in some countries, and yet they utterly and completely cater to the wealthy. Oh well, the ides of March wouldn't be complete without some venting.

Perhaps this is a fruitless search but I am wondering about international schools (good ones) with a more socio-economic diversity. I am at the point in my career where I am SO tired of facilitating greater and greater life experiences for students who were already born into wealthy, or at least very well-off, families. I am thirsty for PROGRESSIVE international schools but it doesn't seem like there are any. Does anyone know of schools that actually bring students from a range of income backgrounds together??

Not particularly international, i.e., mostly Spanish/Catalan students. Low salary, not located near the center of BCN at all. That said, Spain, even in on the verge of economic collapse, is the effing bomb.

History Guy, this was one of the more brillant posts on ISR in a long time. Game, set and match!

I've heard the school is one of the better ones in CA. Panama itself rocks. Plenty of outdoor pursuits, and amazing colonial-modern capital, intact rainforest and perfectly situated for travel north in CA or south in SA. There's also a sizeable expat population who have made Panama their permanent home. Just be ready for some insane humidity. It is never dry in Panama.

I was axed from the databased after fours years of inactivity. Reopening is quick and painless however.
