Thailand: We guarantee the return flight reimbursement for
10 month participants who start the program in May only. In some cases it
can be arranged for those who start on October, but it depends on the school
and their relationship with the participant. |

Most teachers devote between 35 and 40 hours per week, including class
planning, presentations, faculty meetings, and extra-curricular activities. |
*** |
The academic year in each country begins during these months. 10-month
contracts are more plentiful, and preferred by schools at the beginning of
the school year. |
