Advice from Anthony & Roe:
Educators can explore teaching opportunities in several settings. International schools vary widely in size, with enrollments ranging from a handful of pupils to hundreds or thousands of students. In most cases, international schools offer a curriculum typical of American or British schools, and an increasing number of schools offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) for college-bound students.

U.S. Department of State Affiliated Schools
Most of these schools were originally established to serve the families of Americans living and working abroad, often in diplomatic service. These independent, coeducational, non-sectarian schools are not operated by the State Department, but are typically governed by a board of directors elected by parents of children enrolled in the school. For information about these schools, visit the U.S. Department of State Office of Overseas Schools Web site at www.state.gov/www/about_state/schools/oteaching.html.

U.S. Department of Defense Dependents (DoDD) Schools
About 160 elementary and secondary schools are operated by the U.S. Department of Defense for children of military and civilian personnel working on military bases, primarily in NATO countries. Teachers and administrators must have American training and certification. DoDDS teachers are employees of the federal government and are subject to federal and social security taxes required of citizens living and working in the United States. Visit the Office of Dependents Schools Web site at www.dodea.edu for current information about DoDDS.

Independent International Schools
International schools can be found in nearly every country. There are schools operated by international corporations as well as private, non-profit institutions, schools sponsored by the United Nations, proprietary schools, and schools operated by religious organizations.
