We Got New Jobs!

After a long and very stressful few months of job hunting, applications, and interviews, we have finally found a good fit for our family for next school year and have both accepted jobs.  Our next adventure will be Doha, Qatar!

Qatar is the richest country in the world, consisting of 250,000 Qatri, the rest expats. It is going to be hot and sandy, but a modern place with lots of building going on (World Cup in 2022). Housing is nice with a close community, exactly what we were looking for. This was actually the deciding factor as we battled offers between Qatar; Chennai, India; and Krakow, Poland.

I will be teaching MYP Humanities and moving up into HS English as the school expands, eventually getting IB DP. Justin was given the role as Student Support Services Coordinator, overseeing ELL, Learning Support, Counselors, and Admissions. This is such a great opportunity to work in administration at this point in hiscareer!

The school is getting overhauled, planning for the big growth and expansion of students. It will be a lot of work, some struggles, and in temporary facilities for a few years while they build a state-of-the art school to match the futuristic medical facility it serves, but what a great chance to help grow something awesome.
