My husband, 2 kids and I are planning the move to Bangkok for the school year beginning Aug 2014. I've just started the search for international schools for my then 6 year old and for a job for myself. We also have a boy who will be 3 by then.
I'd like to ask if anyone knows whether there are scholarships for your own child or subsidies in fees as part of a potential salary package. Planning this move years ago, and knowing I needed to be well qualified for the good jobs, I finished my Master in Education in Applied Linguistics to add to my teaching degree - B.Arts in Educ (prim). My husband and I also speak Thai and he is in marketing of education. I am hoping that this, plus experience in ESL, EFL teaching and school management are what schools look for in sought after staff. If I or we - are sought after, are we able to get a good deal on our childrens' fees?
Does anyone know how salary packages work? Should I apply for top schools and then send them to one that is more affordable or can I hope for reduced fees if a suitable position arises for both my children and I?
