Colombia - international primary schools

10 years ago

Hi all,
I am looking for info from anyone who knows first hand about job opportunities in Colombia. My cities of preference would be Medellin or Bogota.
I am a primary school teacher with a Bachelor of Education from Ireland. I also have TESOL certification. The past 5 years I have been teaching in Ireland and this current year I have devoted to travelling.
Come September 2014 I wish to return to Colombia & teach for a year or two in an international primary school. I would like a 'decent' teaching position with a highly respected school.
If anyone could inform me on the following I would be ever so grateful:
>Where teaching positions for 'top rated' international primary schools are advertised?
>Which schools you would advise me to apply to?
>What kind of salary should I expect?
>Do schools offer packages which include furnished accommodation, health insurance, flights, etc (the usual)?
Alternatively to the above I would be open to the idea of teaching English either at university level or corporate level. I would only consider English language teaching positions which require qualified teachers as this helps ensure that the school is of a higher standard.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks in advance all.
Regards
John
