China or UAE?
Hi,
I am trying to decide between working at an international school in China, with a Canadian curriculum (which is where I'm from) and teaching at a public school in the United Arabs Emerite.
The job in China is at an international school, but mostly attended by Chinese students. It is a Canadian curriculum school, which is where I am from. It would be teaching High School english literature. I'd be able to save 20,000/year. I;d get 3 months paid vacation. I know someone who worked there and enjoyed it.
The job in the UAE would probably be at an Elementary public school, and I would be on the lower end of the pay scale.
I am wondering which one would be better in terms of...
- saving money (how much can I save in the UAE)?
- getting a job in Canada and also at an international school elsewhere - at the elementary school level
- lifestyle
If anyone has any advice at all let me know! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your very helpful replies! I think I will take the job offer in China.
The job in China is at Maple Leaf school, a BC, Canada curriculum school (which is where I am from) in Dalian or Tianjin. It's a one year (renewable) contract. It pays 44,000, airfare included, and a month long vacation plus the summer vacation. I would be teaching High School.
I am deciding between that, and working in the UAE at an Elementary public school. I dont know the details yet.
I did my B Ed in Elementary school. Would these options help me get a job at an international school afterwards? Which do you think would help me more?

what are the qualififcations to teach at an int'l school?
Hi,
I am currently looking for a job teaching at an international school overseas. I have 6 years experience teaching ESL at private schools in Canada and Korea and am now finishing my Bachelor of Education.
Can anyone tell me if I qualify for international schools overseas? It seems like every job requires 2 years experience, and I am assuming my ESL experience doesn't count.
I have a job offer at a school that sounds great in China, but I just want to make sure there aren't other options in other locations of the world for starting between September and January.
Thanks!
