Learn how to enhance your life with an exciting new career at one of thousands of English-speaking international schools around the world.

The quality of the schools abroad are incredible and, if you like to travel, this is the best is the best way to do it as a teacher....Regarding teacher pay, I was able to provide my two children with a high-quality international education, pay off all my debts at home, live in a spacious and modern apartment with a gym, pool, spa, and view of the Persian Gulf, easily pay for bi-weekly top to bottom house cleaning (that included cooking and laundry), travel every single break, AND save over $10,000 in just two years.

We went hard, my children visited 25 countries in two years!.... I wish every American teacher would give this a try. You will not regret it.

"Teaching at an international school offers a level of freedom and quality of life that’s hard to match in the U.S. Back home, being a teacher often feels like being part of the lower working class, where juggling bills and rent can be a constant challenge. In contrast, when I taught in China, I was living an upper-class lifestyle. My rent was covered by the school, so I didn’t have to worry about monthly expenses.

I lived in a fantastic apartment in the heart of a major metropolitan city—safe, modern, and surrounded by endless opportunities for exploration and growth. It was incredible to experience a fulfilling lifestyle while doing what I love. Teaching internationally doesn’t just change your career; it transforms your entire quality of life."

"As a single parent, teaching overseas has been a life changing experience for both me and my child. Watching him grow up in an international community with such rich exposure to diversity, different cultures, and new languages has shaped him into an open-minded, confident young adult. The quality of life we've had overseas far exceeds what I could have given him back in the U.S. — from more affordable living to excellent education, a supportive expat community, and a lifestyle that allows us to travel and explore the world. Although I'm back in the US now, I can honestly say that the experience has enriched both of our lives in ways I never thought possible and I have no doubt that I will be overseas teaching again very soon."

Did you know?

In the U.S., nearly 50% of teachers leave the profession within the first five years. Many are overwhelmed by unlivable wages, long hours, challenging behaviors from students and parents, and mounting pressure from standardized testing. These stressors take a toll on teachers’ well-being and happiness, often leaving them burnt out and hopeless in their career and their personal lives.

But, did you know there’s a thriving global community of expat teachers who have found a better way to teach—and live? Many of my friends and colleagues back home aren't even aware of the lifestyle and power that a US teaching certificate can afford them! International schools are actively seeking American teachers and often offer incredible opportunities that include: tax-free salaries (often in USD for more than you're making in the USA), furnished housing, top-tier global health insurance, annual airline tickets home for the whole family, and generous relocation packages that include paid shipping for furniture, and cash on arrival to settle in.

Say goodbye to long hours and low pay—teachers abroad are not only highly respected, but the favorable exchange rates in many countries can also dramatically improve your quality of life. Whether you're seeking a more balanced lifestyle, financial freedom, or are just looking for a chance to work and live abroad, teaching internationally could be a great fit!
