Welcome!!<\/p>\n

We are delighted to announce the official launch of International School Community.\u00a0 The premier online community for international school educators!<\/p>\n

International School Community started as a crazy idea during the summer of 2010. Our dream was to provide a platform to network and share real information about what it is like working in international schools around the world. After much discussion and hard work involving many people in the international teaching community, this website finally became a reality in January 2011.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank<\/em> everyone who had a part in the creation of this website. We could not have done it without you!<\/p>\n

Warmest regards,
\nThe staff at International School Community
