Adventures in Teaching

In January I posted a video promoting myself for international teaching positions, and in early February I attended an International Recruiting Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. While at the recruiting conference my boyfriend (also a teacher) and I met and interviewed with 12 different schools from around the world. We had three job offers in three very different locations. We had less than 24 hours to make a decision that would drastically change our lives, so we weighed the pros and cons, decided how we wanted to live the next two years of our lives and decided to take teaching positions at...CAYMAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands! We have spent the last few months preparing to leave our lives and schools in San Francisco, CA and finally arrived on the island on Sunday, August 3rd!

We are beyond excited to be here and have spent the last week settling into our the school. New faculty orientation is this Friday, August 15th and school starts on August 25th!new island lifestyle. We rented an apartment, bought a car, got a cell phone, met some friends (other teachers at CIS), saw our classrooms, met our administrators and explored the island.
