Schools and Organizations for Experienced Educators

Teaching in a broad-curriculum school abroad is a great option if you're a certified teacher looking for something a little different. There are many American and international schools in Asia looking for qualified teachers to join their staff either short- or long-term. The three main types of American and international schools abroad are:

Schools Affiliated with the Department of State

These schools are funded in part by the U.S. Department of State. They hire staff on a school-by-school basis, not through government channels. School curricula are usually American-style, but the student body is international. For more information, contact:

Office of Overseas Schools
Room 245, SA-29
Department of State
Washington, DC 20522-2902
(703) 875-7800

Educators interested in summer service opportunities should contact the following department:

Division of Human Resource Management
Department of Education
415 12th Street, NW, Room 706
Washington, DC 20004
(202) 724-4080

If you are interested in teaching assistantships and fellowships for study and research, contact:

Institute of International Education
809 United Nations Plaza
New York, New York 10017
(212) 883-8200

Department of Defense Dependents (DoDD) Schools

Teachers in DoDD schools are government employees. These schools are usually located near military bases and predominantly have American students. Teachers adhere to American curricula. For more information, contact the following address and request the booklet called "Overseas Employment for Educators."

U.S. Department of Defense
