I had a friend who worked there and visited the campus. At the time, some of the single teachers rented apartments in town. They stayed on campus most of the week and then stayed in their apartment on the weekend. This was a few years back though.

I have a friend there who likes it. She is in the IB section.

My spouse actually was put on a higher step on the pay scale because of his other work experience.

I was in a school which had a written dress code for men and women. If you have that, stating what is appropriate then I don't think anyone would complain.

Well, it is because as long as the males look presentable that's all that matters. I mean, girls are just there to look pretty right. This is one of the few times when I think discrimination goes in the woman's favor.

In Spain we could wear shorts.

You should post this question on the TES forum as you get more UK teachers there.

There is a thread on this topic there already.

Luck I think really. We got into one a few years ago, just because it seemed we were the perfect match in terms of subjects and one of our references said something that made us stand out to the director. We hadn't even applied to the school, they asked us for an interview. I know we were just lucky at the time.

Most of the teachers just move from one top tier school to another, it's just like the schools exchange teachers each year. If you say you are moving to Bangkok, they just think ISB? It's like there are no other schools.

Some of the teachers I work with aren't anything special either but they know how to sell themselves.

How was that fair? Were schools offering jobs?

I am so happy you got a job. I was nervous too when you called up the hotel room and had a tear in my eye when you signed contracts.

I will be going to London in a few weeks and needed the happy ending to boost my morale.

I have been reading the reviews on this school and it sounds crazy.

Is this really happening? A known felon teaching the kids and open racism?

Lots of people seem upset about the racism but nothing is being done about it. You know we always ask how did Hilter manage to do what he did? Weren't there any good people around? I have always wondered what I would do in those circumstances. Probably like these people I wouldn't do anything?

What is really going on there?

From what I have heard Concordian is a good tier 2 school and is not trying to become a tier 1 school. You might not get paid as well as somewhere like JIS or IS Beijing but you probably work half as hard.

I have not worked at the school though.

Keep those posts coming. They are appreciated.

I have been to fairs before and would not have been able to give such good reports after the long and emotion filled days.

Thank you.

I agree with Whatnow. You will need a car in Nassau. Buses don't go to many areas and they stop running about 7pm.

It is an expensive island and the salaries in SAS and Queens which I think are the ones advertising aren't that good. If you are single it will be hard.

If you worked at Lyford Cay then you get a housing allowance on top of your salary which was $1000 a month the last time I heard so the money ended up being pretty good. Most teachers from Lyford Cay rent small apartments on the beach, outside the gated community. These can range from studios to bigger, for what they were they weren't value for money but they were okay. I didn't hear people complain about them. They better value than the places in the East where SAS and Queens are. If you did live out that side it would be about 30min drive against traffic to work.

I had single friends who worked as SAS and although they had complained about money being tight, nearly all of them said they did save a bit in the end.

Well, it isn't a matter of so many offers for interviews that you turn some down. Last time I got a request for an interview with a school in Islamabad. I have heard that the school is very good but that is not somewhere I would go.
