Thanks to the increasing number of international schools, there have never been so many opportunities in unique and exciting locations for teachers.<\/p>\n

Today there are international schools everywhere \u2013 over 6,500 schools in 236 countries \u2013 and some of the more unusual locations are providing the most stimulating and challenging opportunities for the more seasoned and adventurous international teachers.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a>Teach somewhere different<\/b><\/p>\n

Corey Johnson is a Geography teacher currently working in Kazakhstan.\u00a0 He\u2019s been teaching internationally for seven years. \u201cBeing an international teacher, I can work and see the world at the same time,\u201d he says. \u201cEach time I move to a new country I am gaining more experience.\u00a0 Knowing that a grand adventure is waiting for you out there is very enticing. Life in a new country is always challenging but it\u2019s also rewarding. Things are very different here but that\u2019s the adventure of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kazakhstan is one of the more unique places for teachers to work right now and it is the international schools, led by the NIS (Nazarbayev Intellectual School<\/a> Network) schools that are changing the face of education throughout the country. The aim is to develop a new way of educating local Kazakh students and the NIS Network is enlisting the skills of qualified, English-speaking, experienced international teachers such as Corey to spearhead the progress.<\/p>\n

From Mauritius to Bangkok<\/b><\/p>\n

For international teaching couple, Jane and Gerry Young, an extreme location change was their priority when they were ready to move schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spent three years teaching at the international school in Mauritius,\u201d says Gerry. \u201cThere were huge career benefits there and we loved the lifestyle. We spent most of our free time outdoors in the sunshine, on beaches. When our contract ended we decided to find something just as exciting but completely different so we them moved from our sleepy little school of 260 pupils to one of the biggest names in international education – Harrow International School in Bangkok<\/a> – with almost 1,200 pupils, and traded mellow Mauritius for bustling Bangkok \u2013 a different corner of the world and a whole new adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many options near and far<\/b><\/p>\n

With today\u2019s international schools employing over 300,000 English-speaking teachers and all competing for the most skilled and experienced ones, those already with international school experience really can have their pick of the best jobs.\u00a0 Some of the more unique positions currently available are at the International School in Azerbaijan<\/a>, \u00a0at the International School Moshi<\/a> in Tanzania which is located in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, and at the International School in Montenegro, as well at the NIS schools<\/a> in Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t limit yourself to the oftentimes \u2018cattle market\u2019 frenzy of the recruitment fairs, or restrict yourself to just the jobs featured in the vacancies ads,\u201d says recruitment expert Andrew Wigford. \u201cMany international schools are now using recruitment agencies to handle all their placements and these agencies often know of some of the more unique jobs that aren\u2019t publicised elsewhere. For example, the Harrow International Schools, which have a five year recruitment contract with us, hardly use job fairs at all. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to register with a recruitment agency, as you\u2019ll find jobs \u2013 great jobs – that you don\u2019t hear about anywhere else.\u00a0 The good recruitment agencies do not charge candidates any fee for this and still allow them the opportunity to look elsewhere, such as at the fairs. It\u2019s an important part of keeping all your options open, especially if you\u2019re looking for a really exciting or challenging next move and some agencies, such as TIC, provide a very personalised service to help you find exactly the right school and position for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Wigford is Managing Director of Teachers International Consultancy (TIC), one of the leading specialist international school recruitment agencies in the world. TIC works with experienced international teachers and accredited and reputable international schools to provide a personalised placement and advisory service.
