Employment

Employment in the growing number of international schools in Germany is becoming a more attractive option to the international and internationally minded teacher or teaching couple. The strength of the Euro, access to an outstanding health system, excellent working conditions and a safe and secure environment for singles, couples and families alike, make Germany an appealing and exciting place to live.

Working in Germany not only brings with it the benefits of living in a country rich in culture and tradition but, given Germany’s central location in Europe, the opportunity to experience  the richness and diversity of Europe itself.  Access from German cities to a variety of travel destinations across Europe, combined with an affordable and extensive rail and air network, make Germany an exciting destination for international educators.

Please note:

AGIS has been alerted by schools in various parts of the world that teachers seeking overseas employment have been approached by various individuals or groups running scams and requesting money.

These individuals/groups claim to be a reputable school (or assume the identity of an existing, reputable school) and ask teachers and/or administrators seeking overseas employment to send them money to assist in the payment of a work visa, interview or application fees, plane tickets, or other recruitment related costs. Please know that no legitimate school will ask any teacher or administrator to pay them to obtain a job and/or work visa.  If you have been asked by an international school to send money to cover such costs, you are probably the target of an elaborate scam.  Be aware that these fraudulent activities seem to becoming more frequent. Do not send money or pass on banking information to any school seeking professionals to come work with them.

All international candidates are urged to be diligent in investigating potential schools during the recruiting process and prior to signing a contract. Use extreme caution if you have been asked for money or private information.
