I have also had my eye on this school since Kyoto is my favorite city in Japan. Anyone have any recent information about working at this school?

Good question. This is the first time that I have seen them advertise, and I check the main sites quite often. I couldn't find any good/bad reviews on them on the internet, but I did find that petition that you mentioned.

There just isn't enough honest information out there, unfortunately.

I just had a phone interview with them. There is very little information about them on the internet, and their website is lacking in certain areas.

The gentlemen who interviewed me were easy-going and seemed genuine about what the school has to offer and what it is lacking. They also seemed knowledgeable about Education and what students need.

However, we did not get into real specifics since it was just the first conversation. If I were offered the job then I would ask about pay, living conditions, relationships between admins and teachers, etc. I didn't think it was one of my better interviews, mostly because I hate talking on the phone and the phone kept cutting out so I couldn't hear them; so I don't know if I ever will be able to get more information about what it is like working there. ;)

Hi there. Does anyone have any information on Hiroshima International School? I am considering applying for the ESL/EFL position there.

Thanks!

Does anyone know anything about Cairo English School? They are advertising an opening for ESL/EFL via CIS. I haven't heard anything good or bad about this school. Their website says they are British, and they are located in Mirage City, New Cairo which seems to be quite far out of Cairo.

I really wanted to apply to Cairo American College, but they seem to only be looking for a part-time ESL/EFL. Unfortunately I have not yet amassed great wealth through teaching so I need to be full-time.

Thanks for any information!

Hi. While I have never attended an International Schools Fair, from what I have read online if you have not been invited to the fair by the office hosting the fair (ISS, Search Associates,etc) you cannot participate. However, I have read from others that if you are available at that fair location and at that time you could make an appointment to meet the school recruiters at a different location in the hotel or city. This way you get to meet with them but are not part of the fair.

Best of luck and hope all works out for you! I too am on the International School job search!
