I am a math teacher here in Seattle with two kids. Does anyone have experience bringing their children with them to teach abroad? I feel like it would expose them to new cultures and expand their view on the world, so it could potentially be a good experience. Does Teach Away provide support for school aged children/dependents?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Gillian,
    Teach Away recruits for a lot of programs that will sponsor up to three dependents and a spouse. These programs are mostly in the Middle East and only hire certified teachers. I recommend doing some research on ADEC (Abu Dhabi Education Council) and the Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools, as these programs sponsor families and offer lucrative salaries and contracts.
