PsyGuy thanks so much for all the information you gave me. It was very helpful! I spoke in further detail with TeachNow and they told me I can get a teachers certificate in ESL through their program. I can do my field teaching work at the after school elementary school I teach at now. I then can add an endorsement onto my lisense in art by taking an extra test. I then could have my teaching certificate in art for elementary level. That at least could be a start. However my goal being high school level. Do you think this would be worthwhile? I'm still waiting their response on whether or not I can do my 200 hour field work in an international school instead. Thus getting my high school level certificate. Thanks again for all your help!

Hello. I've searched this forum a lot but just looking for some more advise on how to begin teaching in an international school. I am an American who has been teaching esl in Korea for the past 7 years. I'm growing a bit tired of English teaching and would like to teach my major (art) in an international school (High School level the ultimate goal). I am not certified and am looking for the best way about doing so that does not involve going back home to get my license. I found a few online programs. The best so far, I believe, is Teach-now. However they will not be able to certify me in teaching art internationally because that is not what I am currently teaching. I'm married and my wife and I have no problem starting off in a low tier school. Does anybody have any suggestions as to the right steps I should take to become an international art teacher? I've heard of a company called Dipont in China. I believe their schools are not international school but rather higher end high schools. A friend of mine got a job through them with her husband and they were able to get IB training in the school and make a pretty good salary. Now they are moving into an actual international school. I applied for Dipont but all the positions are filled at the moment. Are there other companies/schools like this? Any help would be much appreciated!
