The International Schools Review Forum

I am currently teaching in Abu Dhabi and my goal is to change to a local school. There are many reasons why, and I am fully aware of challenges, but I feel like it is a good fit for me, especially the rural locations like Liwa and Delma.

I was told by a recruiter for ADEC that I must go to either the US or UK for the face to face interview that is required. They are not registered for the Dubai teaching fair in February and travelling to the US or UK is just not possible.

Does anyone know how to apply to ADEC and interview somewhere in the middle east if not in Abu Dhabi itself? All information about ADEC is appreciated.

The Liwa International School is another one that I am interested in, but its website does not have an employment section. Any thoughts on how to contact?

Thanks!

I would just email Liwa International School at their general email address info@liwaschool.com

To your first question, have you considered contacting ADEC themselves (info@adec.ac.ae), maybe an exception can be made since your local? My concern is that even if you "find" a work around, you may be penalized for going outside the official procedures. If it was "me" id just go in person to their office and ask directly, its much harder to say no in person then by email or phone.
