Who wouldn’t want to live next to or very close to the beach? Better yet, a beautiful beach with amazing sand and turquoise water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International school educators could only be so lucky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

But this actually does exist in the world of international schools. There are a number of international schools around the world that are very close to the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are on islands and that life has its pluses and minuses, but other international schools are simply just located on the coast of their continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, you could be listening to the crashing of the waves as you walk home from a day’s work at your future international school next to the beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American School of Recife (27 total comments)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“American School of Recife 10 minutes to the nearest mall. Uber taxi is the most popular transportation in Recife. You can hire Uber to get you to the nearest\u00a0beach<\/strong>\u00a0area i.e Paiva or Porto Galinha. Single teachers are housed in a fully-furnished flat (considered a hotel in the city). The flats are only a one-bedroom apartment with a nice view of the\u00a0beach<\/strong> and 7-10 minute walk to the school. The flat is also nearby small groceries where you can get most the things you may need in terms of food…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The relaxed vibe on the island, friendly people, and absolutely stunning\u00a0beach<\/strong>es, on which you may not see another person. It’s like having your own private\u00a0beach<\/strong>. If you love deserted, pristine\u00a0beach<\/strong>es, you will enjoy living here…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International School of Western Australia (28 total comments)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“The school is in the lovely suburb of Doubleview. Not to far from the city and quite close to the\u00a0beach<\/strong>. There are a few nice cafes nearby that are great and quick to get lunch for school. It is quite expensive to rent or buy near the school – most teachers live 15-20 minutes away and drive to work.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Codrington School (Int’l School of Barbados) (83 total comments)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“West and South Coast are great places to live and go out. Lots of restaurants, bars and beautiful\u00a0beach<\/strong>es to enjoy after work and on weekends.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cayman International School (6 total comments)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“There is no housing allowance. Rent is extremely high if you intend to live on or near a\u00a0beach<\/strong>. Traffic can really be a problem, especially if you live on the south end of the island. A two bedroom apartment will run about $2,000 away from Seven Mile\u00a0beach<\/strong>, $3,000 on the\u00a0beach<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
