Teaching in International Schools Overseas. The international schools affiliated with the Department of State are independent, non-government institutions.
Since they are not controlled by the U.S. government nor do they operate under any official administrative jurisdictional umbrella, they hire teachers and staff directly, establishing their own qualification standards and application procedures. Salary levels and benefit packages vary from school to school. The Worldwide Fact Sheet will give you additional information on them and statistics on number of teachers and students in each geographic region. Many of the American-sponsored schools overseas contract with private organizations in the United States to assist in the professional staff recruitment process. The schools frequently send representatives to stateside teacher "recruiting fairs" to locate qualified staff for anticipated vacancies.
