Who wouldn’t want to live next to or very close to the beach? Better yet, a beautiful beach with amazing sand and turquoise water!
International school educators could only be so lucky!
But this actually does exist in the world of international schools. There are a number of international schools around the world that are very close to the beach.
Some are on islands and that life has its pluses and minuses, but other international schools are simply just located on the coast of their continent.
Either way, you could be listening to the crashing of the waves as you walk home from a day’s work at your future international school next to the beach!

International School of Western Australia (28 total comments)
“The school is in the lovely suburb of Doubleview. Not to far from the city and quite close to the beach. There are a few nice cafes nearby that are great and quick to get lunch for school. It is quite expensive to rent or buy near the school – most teachers live 15-20 minutes away and drive to work.”

“West and South Coast are great places to live and go out. Lots of restaurants, bars and beautiful beaches to enjoy after work and on weekends.”
Cayman International School (6 total comments)
“There is no housing allowance. Rent is extremely high if you intend to live on or near a beach. Traffic can really be a problem, especially if you live on the south end of the island. A two bedroom apartment will run about $2,000 away from Seven Mile beach, $3,000 on the beach.”
