3xlucky, thanks for the feedback

It looks like the package meets the minimum you are saying and then some. I need to ask about the health insurance. It looks like the minimum is around 800 kd and I have 4 years experience and my wife has 10 with a masters.

I have never thought about the type of housing offered. When I worked for a contractor in Iraq, we lived in metal buildings with a bathroom and I thought that was awesome. What are typical living arrangements for a family? Yes, they are provided.

3xlucky and vitiminz,

What questions would you ask if you were interviewed to get a better understanding of the program? It sounds like the school is in the Sabah Al Salem area of Kuwait City.

What is the cost of groceries and other necessities?

Re: Q8

[quote="3xlucky"]Greetings,

If you have any specifics about the school, even the listing I can tell you more. I am currently in Kuwait and have been for 5 years. Unfortunately, there are very few schools I would send my children to; and if it is a start up school I would be very cautious. Established schools in Kuwait are dodgy enough, let alone a new one.

Give more details and I can answer more.[/quote]

I guess concerns would be lack of admin support, resources to do the job, and low curriculum standards to name a few.

My wife has a phone interview coming up and it would be nice to have a few more questions ready. Is there anything else you can add that we could ask specifics about?

I read about it on teach away and it only states it is a private international school opening aug 2013.

I have been trying to find recent information on teach away, but I am having a hard time.

Anyone know the cost of private schooling for a 3 year old in Kuwait city?

New school in Kuwait

I just read about a brand new school opening in Kuwait come August 2013. My wife just recently asked if we should take the kids overseas and teach for a few years so I have been looking around. I have searched this forum, but I have came up empty so far.

Thanks
