Working in an International school, reduces my childrens' fees?

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 聳 or we - are sought after, are we able to get a good deal on our childrens聮 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?

I know some of the international schools provide free tuition if parent works at school.

Hi Straydog,

(Love the username and pic by the way...)

Thanks for the info.聽 I'm starting to get a bigger picture and a bit more of an idea now.

Now just have to brush up on that rusty Thai...

Cheers,
