Around the world, there are countries (like Morocco) 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

The big question always is…how do the comments about each school compare to each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Amount of Money Left to be Saved<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Single teachers can save up to $15000 a year and teaching couples up to $30000. The saving potential is high…” – Rabat American School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Easily saved about $10,000 without living particularly frugally. The cost of living is generally quite low…” – American School of Marrakesh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With a working couple, you can easily save one salary. That said a family of four would have to watch their budget as costs of things such as car hire can add heavily to expenditure…” – British International School of Casablanca\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

School Campus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Nice open feeling to central campus areas. Able to take class outside and read a book under a tree. Limited facilities – no pool, etc…” – Casablanca American School<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A quiet area by the ocean, walking distance to a tennis club and a few local places to eat and shop. The school has two cars you can borrow to run errands, but the cars are manual only (fyi)…” – George Washington Academy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Next to the campus there are many trees and low rise residential, shops and restaurants nearby…” – Rabat American School\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Housing Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Housing is provided in an apartment complex. Utilities within reason included. Apartments have basic furnishings and wifi. There is a cable TV package or something similar, but few channels in English…” – American School of Marrakesh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Furnished housing is provided. The school also pays for your utilities…” – American School of Tangier\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Accommodation is provided in a modern golf complex. Bills are to be paid by the teachers…” – British International School of Casablanca\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits for Teachers with Children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“If two parents are working for the school then the kid gets in free but if one parent is working for the school there is a fee that would need to be paid…” – George Washington Academy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Free tuition for two children; half tuition for additional children…” – American School of Marrakesh\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Free child places. It is possible to hire a nanny for around 4000 MAD a month if needs be…” – British International School of Casablanca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are the Expectations High of Teaching Staff?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Having come from one of the big high pressure schools, I can honestly say the workload is not hard. Classload is light with only 2 or 3 classes per day, and extra curriculuar are optional and paid. The work day ends at 3:45 and only the new teachers with limited experience consider the workload “tough”. I’m home every day by 4 to cook dinner for my family, that is something I have never been able to do before in my professional career, and I think that is a real blessing of GWA…” – George Washington Academy\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In addition to teaching duties, you are expected to run one extra curricular activity and participate in one school committee. For most grades, there is a reasonable amount of prep time (entitled to 4 periods, but most people have at least 8 per week, some even more). You are also required to do 1-2 duties per week…” –American School of Marrakesh\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The expectations are high but not over demanding. Timetables are no different to other international schools although the day is long. Clubs are taken by staff, currently once a week…” –British International School of Casablanca\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
