Video Highlight: The Indian School Bahrain

April 13, 2013

There are many international schools to work at in Bahrain!  How do these schools stand out from each other?

The Indian School Bahrain

The buildings don’t look to be the most updated, but it could be comparable to the other school campuses in the region.

Those looks like benches made out of tree trunk in the meeting area of the school. Pretty cool!

The outdoor play area appears to be all sand which I suppose is common for international schools that are situated in the desert!

The school is trying to bring a bit of green to the campus by having planted little trees everywhere.

Nice to have shading tarps around the outside walkways. I imagine the heat can get pretty unbearable there!

Not much on the walls of the classroom in the video.  Maybe the walls were bare because it appears the movie was made during their summer holidays.

The school has a security entrance which I guess is a standard feature in most international schools not just in the Middle East, but also around the world.

Currently on www.internationalschoolcommunity.com we have 14 international schools listed in Bahrain with 3 of them being in the city of Isa Town.  The number of comments and information that have been submitted for each school is listed to the right the link to each school.  Here are a just a few of them:

Video Highlight: British International School Phuket

March 4, 2013

There are so many international schools to work at in Thailand!  How do these schools stand out from each other?

British International School Phuket

It is not so surprising that an international school celebrates “International Day”, but how great that they have such a grand entrance to their school to display all those national flags.

They even set out a red carpet for the event!

What a great idea to have all visitors, important people, etc. sign their name on a huge map stating where they come from. That map could be a great addition to a front hallway display at an international school.

The school population does look rather diverse, even though around half of them are Thai.

Did you hear when the host mentioned about the Prefects at this school?  That seems to be a Harry Potter reference.  Do all British international schools have prefects?

Cool and colourful presentations!  Those costumes looked great, and so did the Michael Jackson impersonator!

How interesting that the more “important” people at the celebration get to sit in comfortable lounge-like chair in the front of the auditorium?

The student band looked and sounded great too!

It is great when a school has a history that started with a “dream”.  And it appears as if this dream really did come true because when you look at this campus in the video, it basically looks like some amazing castle.  Who wouldn’t want to work at British International School Phuket or attend here as a student??!

Currently on www.internationalschoolcommunity.com we have 46 international schools listed in Thailand with 4 of them being in the city of Phuket.  The number of comments and information that have been submitted for each school is listed to the right the link to each school.  Here are a just a few of them:

Video Highlight: Yew Chung International School of Beijing

January 13, 2013

There are so many international schools to work at in Beijing!  How do these schools stand out from each other?

Yew Chung International School of Beijing

The school campus seems to be next to some beautiful parks.

An interesting concept of the use of c0-prinicpals, one being an expat and one being a Chinese National.

They also provide the same for the classrooms apparently, by having co-teachers there are well (well at least in the primary school section).  How great to teach in two languages side by side!  It would be interesting to see more videos of what that might actually look like in a classroom lesson.

The school also has what seems to be an extensive music programme, giving the students opportunities to try out a variety of instruments at a young age.

It is important that an international school value and affirm the local language of the country they are in.  It would seem as if Yew Chung International School of Beijing is doing just that by including an extensive Mandarin Chinese programme.

Overall the campus facilities look quite nice!

Currently on www.internationalschoolcommunity.com we have 131 international schools listed in China with 30 of them being in the city of Beijing.  The number of comments and information that have been submitted for each school is listed to the right the link to each school.  Here are a just a few of them:

Video Highlight: Marymount International School (Rome) (Eithne Gallagher)

November 16, 2012

There are some international schools out there that have very inspired teachers. Eithne Gallagher would definitely be one of them!

Marymount International School (Rome)

Eithne Gallagher is one of the leading EAL specialists in the international school teaching community.  She has been a presenter at countless conferences and led a variety of workshops related to international schools, mother tongue programming as well as English as an Additional Language teaching philosophy and strategies.

International schools have much to think about with regards to how they create opportunities to help their students maintain their mother tongue/home language.  Having a Mother Tongue Celebration Day is a one idea presented in this video to acknowledge and affirm students’ home languages.
