I was wondering if anyone could share what they know about the International School Serbia, or the British School. I've heard Belgrade is a great place to live. Information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Please, Please someone... There are not many jobs in my field, one of the very few is at the International School of Serbia... and of course, there is no review about it on the ISR!
If you don't know the school but know the country, do you think someone who has been living in Asia for 10 years would adapt well in Serbia?

Thanks!

What's your field?

French! (many jobs on Search, but not many schools going to London...)

I interviewed with the former director, Gerald Craig. The school seems to have a good pension scheme. I have only heard that it is not as expensive to live there as Prague. I have a predilection for eastern europe, but it is not everyone's cup of tea. If I were offered a job there, I would definitely take it. If you work there, please let us know how it is!

Can you explain a little more about that? I've heard some good and some bad about Eastern Europe, but have never been...

Thanks

Eastern Europe is a wonderful place to teach but parts are quickly losing their label as affordable and are joining Western Europe as very expensive places to live. I know teachers in Slovakia that are losing their shirts as the Krown and the dollar head in different directions.
