Thanks so much for your reply! That is far more positive-sounding than I would have expected!

Anyone with info on Ecole Mondiale in Mumbai?

There is no review of this school on this ISR, and it appears to have mostly host-country teachers and students. Do any of you have any information on the school?

Additionally, if anyone has any input about living in Mumbai as a Western family with young kids, I'd love to hear it!

Thanks in advance!

What is going on with AIS Ho Chi Minh City???

There are currently about 14 positions listed on Search for this school that are to begin [i]immediately[/i]. This seems like a bad sign, yes?

Does anyone know the story here? Was there a coup of some sort?

Thanks so much. I was actually wondering about the IB schools. We do not have any IB experience; should we seek out workshops or training?

Thanks so much to both of you. I had wondered about which of the fairs to attend, Peelish, and if we are not successful this time, we'll definitely look at Bangkok for next year.

Newbie here with questions about . . . well, everything!

Primarily, I'm wondering how likely it is that my hubby and I will be hired somewhere reasonable (according to our own standards, explained below).

He is an administrator with a doctorate, and I am certified K-5. He has 7 years experience, and I have 5. We have registered with Search Associates, and we plan to attend the Cambridge fair.

Of the schools that will be there, about 50 of them are in countries to which we are willing to move. (We have children, and this has made us much more cautious about locations than we would have been before.)

We are especially interested in eastern Europe, China, Korea, and Japan. Are these reasonable location goals for first-timers? What sorts of things can we do to improve our chances?

Oh, and we're Americans in our early 30s with 2 elementary-aged kids, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance for any guidance! I was very happy to have found this forum. :)
