Hello all,
I am in the process of evaluating schools for my first international placement. As a school counselor, is there a significant difference in future school counseling opportunities if I start at a non-IB school with AP, American curriculum, etc. vs. one that offers IB? I see a lot of focus on the forums on IB curriculum as the best placements, but I wasn't sure if that was mostly for general teaching staff so they could be trained in IB.

What does SK see as a large dog? I have a lab/beagle mix about 55-60 lbs. Did you bring your dogs over from wherever you are from? If so, was that a pretty smooth process?

Thoughts on Korea, Croatia, Bulgaria, and Israel?
Hello all,
I am in the midst of the application process right now and have some strong interest (no official offers yet, but lots of skype contact) from schools in the following locales:
Seoul, South Korea
Zagreb, Croatia
Sofia, Bulgaria
Tel Aviv, Israel
Does anyone have any thoughts has on living in any of these locales or questions I should make sure I am asking these schools? Any favorite spots? I have read the reviews already for the specific schools. I am a first-time IT and I would be trying to bring a non-teaching partner/potential spouse and a dog most likely and have brought those up with the schools during this process.
