The trailing spouses I know typically work remotely from their home country. They do not have the ability to work off of the visas we get.

At the QSIM, class sizes are intentionally small across all divisions, which supports individualized instruction. In the primary years (Preschool and Elementary), classes typically range from about 10–18 students in preschool and 12–20 in elementary, and importantly, younger classes (up to around age 8) have two dedicated adults in the classroom, a lead teacher plus a teaching assistant, providing consistent aide support and more individualized attention . In the middle and secondary levels, classes remain small, generally 12–18 students in middle school and about 12–16 in secondary, but instruction is delivered primarily by subject specialists rather than co-teaching models . While formal classroom aides are less typical in secondary, the school supplements support through specialist teachers, counseling services, and targeted programs like Intensive English, maintaining a strong overall support structure despite the shift away from assistant-based classrooms

Only those that marry locals stay. Everyone else leaves. The city is not developed. There is not much to do more than going to the mall or eating out. The parents’ demands can be outrageous and the school is a mess. Why would anyone stay?
