As all International School Community members know, each of the 2199+ school profile pages<\/a> on our website has four comments and information sections: School Information, Benefits Information, City Information and Travel Information<\/strong>.  Our members are encouraged to submit comments and information on one or all of these sections if they currently work at an international school or have worked at one in the past.  It is important that we all share what we know so that we can in turn help other new teachers make a more informed decision before they sign any contract! *Additionally, for every 10 comments you submit (which are anonymous by the way), you automatically get one free month of premium membership added on to your account!  The more comments you leave, the more free membership you get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sample travel airfares from host city airport to destinations nearby.<\/strong> (461 Total Comments)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Example comment: “You can fly mostly anywhere in Europe from Berlin. Unfortunately there has been a new airport in construction for many years now with no real outlook on when it will be complete. You have to connect elsewhere to fly internationally (i.e Copenhagen, Paris, London, Reykjavik etc.)” – Berlin Cosmopolitan School <\/a>(Berlin, Germany) – 94 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe proximity of major airport hubs to the city center and give sample taxi, train, subway and\/or bus fares to get there.<\/strong> (585 Total Comments)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Example comment: “Narita International Airport is the most convenient in terms of distance, parking, and bus connections. It is approximately 45-50 minutes by car on the highway (tolls are about $12 or $13 USD each way), 75 minutes by car by more local roads, and about an hour by bus ($25 USD). Haneda Airport in Tokyo is further away from Tsukuba and more conveniently reached by a combination of the Tsukuba Xpress and Tokyo subways (90 to 120 minutes and $18 to $25 USD, depending on the various options and combinations). There is also the more local Ibaraki Airport (which has free parking) about 45 minutes from town, but flights are very limited and only include a few destinations within Japan (such as Kobe, Fukuoka, Naha and Sapporo) and Shanghai and Seoul (and sometimes Taipei by charter flights) internationally.” – Tsukuba International School<\/a> (Tsukuba, Japan) – 47 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Places to travel to outside the city by bus or train.<\/strong> (546 Total Comments)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Example comment: “Expatriate teachers are recommended to not use public transit. The school recommends hiring a school driver to drive us to our desired destination using the car the school provides us. School drivers for a very reasonable rate. If there is a place you want to go, ask the head of security and he will check to ensure it is safe to travel to your desired destination.” – Lahore American School<\/a> (Lahore, Pakistan) – 193 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there many teachers that travel during the holidays? Where are they going?<\/strong> (377 Total Comments)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Example comment: “It truly depends on the teacher and their own personal situation. Many younger, single teachers will travel during breaks. Usual destinations are somewhere around east our southeast Asia. Teachers who are married with children will stay in Korea many times. During summer break, most teachers will go to their home country.” – Korea Kent Foreign School <\/a>(Seoul, South Korea) – 41 Comments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
