Around the world, there are cities that have more than one international school. Many times there is an American school, a British School, and an international school that uses an international curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some cities, though, have MANY international schools!  When that is the case, how do the comments about each school compare to each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\u00a0blog series looks at comparing some of these comments, all coming from international schools in the same city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When you first arrive you get up to 10 days local housing on arrival, then you get $700 a month for a housing allowance.” – Jay Pritzker Academy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Housing allowance is provided which, depending on where you want to live and what standard of housing you require, can cover part or entire cost of housing. If you share or live in more local style options, you can even save some of the allowance.” – Northbridge International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Annual housing allowance is Single $7920, Couple\/Family – $12100.” –\u00a0International School of Phnom Penh (ISPP)<\/a>

School Campus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Middle Years area has just been renovated to accommodate more students and create an outdoor basketball space on the roof. Grounds are geared towards primary school as this is the majority of students, and are very nice, however it is nice to have more for the older students now.” – Ican British International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The campus grounds span 11 hectares in countryside surroundings. The campus blends modern and traditional architecture. It is surrounded by padi fields.” – Jay Pritzker Academy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“New hub building for library and administration, new Primary buildings and renovated Secondary building. The setting is lovely on 8 green hectares (20 acres) of campus with well maintained gardens. Nice new playgrounds and use of pool attached to adjacent Northbridge communities.” – Northbridge International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Budgets for Teachers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No budget to speak of. Annual ordering from overseas has to be approved by relevant Principal.” – International School of Phnom Penh (ISPP)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Budgets for resources are never an issue – if you have a good reason for purchasing something and can demonstrate the learning that it will support then you are generally approved. Art, Maths and Science materials are often ordered in from overseas and are of high quality.” – Ican British International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“About $80\/term (3 terms)” – Footprints International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Budgets are tightly controlled and not transparent. The accounting and purchasing systems are very difficult to negotiate.” – Northbridge International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cambodia\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kinds of Teachers that Work There<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“1\/2 of the teachers are from USA or Canada, with only a few being from the UK. The rest are Cambodian.” – Jay Pritzker Academy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“All of the teachers need to be degree qualified and registered teachers in their home countries. With the exception of language teachers, they need to have native or near native speaking level of English as this is the language of instruction. Almost all admin and support staff are local. Staff turnover is fairly high.” – Northbridge International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are a few core teachers who have been there for years, and a lot of teachers on two-year contracts. Some stay for three. All are internationally qualified, some are locally hired, more internationally.” – Ican British International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“13 nationalities – Filipino, American, Canadian, Australian, British, Cambodian – quite the mix.” – Footprints International School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
