The journey to work is indeed an important one.  The journey though is not so clear for international school teachers when they are looking for jobs at schools in cities\/countries to which they have never been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the ISC blog, we have a blog category called The Journey to School<\/a>. It discusses the ins and outs of how international school teachers get to work\/school in many countries around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Nobody wants a horrible journey to work. Long journeys can really waste away your day (if your journey is one hour each way, for example). In some schools you need to use public transport, other schools you need your own car. It is possible that some teachers actually can take the school bus along with the students at their school. Usually, that is free, so that can be nice. Also, it can stop teachers from working long hours as you need to be ready to go home when the school bus leaves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some countries and at certain international schools, your journey can be one that has very nice things to look at. How wonderful to have some beautiful scenery to look at as you get your mind ready for a day of work. On the other hand, it can be that teachers at some international schools are just going on a highway with views of boring high-rise apartment buildings with very little nature to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to get to work is to ride your bike or just walk. For teachers who’d like to get a bit of exercise in their daily routine, this can be quite a good setup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We currently have 23 journeys listed in The Journey to School<\/a> blog category. We have listed them all here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
