The International Schools Review Forum

This question is especially for Americans, who often have access to 401ks, Social Security, Medicare, and pensions back home.

Even if one is able to save $15,000+ each year, it may be difficult to match the full scope of benefits that stateside teachers receive.

Unless teachers working internationally can really put $$$ away, they seem to be at a disadvantage. Just what kind of packages are out there in the upper-tier schools?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a DOS supported school?

I've worked at schools where the retirement was disguised as a "yearend " bonus, another where we received 7% of our yearly salary to be invested with a specific plan, and yet another where we got 10% of our yearly salary in cash.
