Thank goodness for the U.S. Department of State!\u00a0 They seem to be keeping track of many international schools actually and helping out international school teachers at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One way they are helping is by offering the \u201cFAST TRAIN (The Foreign Affairs Spouses Teacher Training Program)<\/a>\u201d programme to teachers wanting to get another license or add-on certificates to their already existing licensure. This programme started in 1990 and holds classes at George Mason University.\u00a0 I personally know some international school teachers that took classes here and it worked well for them.<\/p>\n

This webpage also highlighted TIE online<\/a> (The International Educator) as the \u201cprivate non-profit organization dedicated to helping overseas international schools find qualified teaching staff and helping qualified teachers find positions at these overseas schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also highlight a link to another website that apparently posted job vacancies for positions at international schools.\u00a0 After doing a quick search<\/a>, no international schools came up.\u00a0 Maybe there will be a few vacancies come hiring season.<\/p>\n

There is a list of 197 international schools<\/a> that the U.S. Department provides assistance to. These school support an American-style education.<\/p>\n

Africa<\/a>
\nEast Asia and Pacific<\/a>
\nEurope<\/a>
\nNear East and South Asia<\/a>
\nWestern Hemisphere<\/a><\/p>\n

Then they have a list of international schools that may also be options for American families living abroad.\u00a0 This list includes U.S. and non-U.S. curriculum, religious, proprietary, and local public schools.<\/p>\n

Africa<\/a>
\nEast Asia and Pacific<\/a>
\nEurope<\/a>
\nNear East and South Asia<\/a>
\nWestern Hemisphere<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, there is information about the Fulbright scholarship<\/a> and information about serving in the Peace Corps<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
