Anyone knows Kreuzlingen-Konstanz international school?

[djbambi]

Hey Everyone!

I got a job!
I came here 1 week ago to let you know I was a bit desperate but I got an interview 3 days ago and I got accepted!
1) I need your help though: do you know Kreuzlingen-Konstanz international school?

2) do you know the cost of living in Switzerland?

Thanks in advance!

Generally the cost of living is very high in Switzerland. Be sure to check your package for housing stipend etc, unless saving money is not an issue.

Do a Google search with keywords 'country cost of living index' to see results city by city. CH has a few cities on the top 10. Good luck.
