International School Curriculum in Asia

Asia

Asia’s international K-12 education sector is vast and rapidly expanding, offering a multitude of curricula to cater to the diverse needs of both expatriate and local students. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is widely prevalent, featuring the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), known for its rigorous academic standards and holistic educational approach. Many international schools also offer the British National Curriculum, which includes the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stages 1-4, IGCSEs, and A-levels. The American curriculum, with US Common Core/AERO and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, is also extensively available. Canadian and Australian programs, though fewer, are present in some schools. These curricula cater to students from early childhood through high school, ensuring a seamless educational journey. Major cities such as Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, and Seoul are primary hubs for international school jobs, driven by their large expatriate populations and vibrant international communities. Additionally, private schools, Montessori schools, and public school international departments offer international programs, often delivered in English. However, these tend to be less regulated and resourced compared to international schools, with predominantly local students. Asia’s dynamic education sector and cultural richness make it a highly attractive destination for international educators.

International School Salaries in Asia

Asia

Teaching at international schools in Asia offers a highly rewarding experience. Typically, a professional teaching license such as QTS, PGCE, or an equivalent qualification is required, although requirements may be more flexible for roles in public school international departments or private colleges. Asia provides numerous opportunities for non-teaching roles, including librarians, teaching assistants, speech-language therapists, and educational technology specialists, all essential in supporting the educational environment. Special education is gaining traction in Asia, with many international schools offering services for students with special educational needs (SEN). This includes positions for SEN teachers and Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) who deliver vital tailored support. Career advancement opportunities are robust, with roles such as Head of Department (HOD), Principal, and regional director available for experienced educators. The competitive international school market across Asia drives schools to seek out talented educators who can lead and innovate. Professional development is a key focus, with many schools providing programs to support career growth. Salary and benefits packages are highly attractive, often surpassing those in the public education system. Teachers can expect resettlement allowances, free education for their dependents, housing, and additional perks. Facilities and classrooms in Asia’s international schools are generally of a higher standard than those in public schools, making it a desirable destination for educators seeking both professional and personal growth.
