The International Schools Review Forum

I know it's very late in the day, but my wife and I are still hoping to find jobs at one of the American International schools in SE Asia this year, and specifically in Singapore or Hong Kong.

We've seen that there are still suitable jobs available but we were hoping to get some recent first-hand information about these places first, before going through the rigamarole of applying.

Any insights on any of these places would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The American school in HK is a small school but HKIS is bigger and you may have better luck there and a better package.

Singapore is a huge school... one of the biggest international schools. I would be surprised if they had openings this late... all these big schools hire extensively in February.

This being said put your resumes in for sure as you never know as things change quickly at these big schools. There are also a number of smaller schools that you may want to look into that may still be looking for the upcoming school year.

Both cities are great to live in. Positives are easy travel and great food. Negatives for Singapore are the heat and it is like Truman show Asia. Hong Kong is pollution.

Good luck
