I just finished a deep dive into the international schools pay survey with our HR team, and honestly, it was the reality check we desperately needed. The pay data confirms exactly that we’re lagging behind the market, which explains why so many of our best teachers are hesitant to re-sign before the 2026 school calendar year ends. I really hope our school board looks at these benchmarks and realizes that a pay adjustment is a bargain compared to the massive recruitment fees, flights, and onboarding costs we'll face if we have to replace some of our teachers. Overall it’s a solid report..

Lots of great teachers’ pay data with practical tips. The survey covers the essentials of an international school pay practice, but also addresses governance, marketing, principal pay, and lastly how to design & benchmark a teacher pay scale. Overall an excellent reference for any international school.

From an International School perspective, I have found this survey a great addition to our school. It is equally useful for anyone who is a school director needing up-to-date information on both teachers’ pay data and market practices. It is easy to apply and organized so you can quickly get to the information you need. I highly recommend it.

This is a must to have for HR leaders, as well as other school leadership. It tackles a series of challenges in an easy-to-read format. Teacher pay practice (international schools), principal pay, marketing your school, governance, and other relevant information. There are very few surveys that cover this topic in a way that can be understood and could be readily implemented. A great asset to our international school.

The survey report brings together teacher pay and practices in an international school setting. Since this was the first time that we planned to benchmark and adjust our teachers pay scale for our international school in Portugal, we had no clue were to start! Our HR team downloaded the survey report, and we walked through all the steps together. Very relevant!

Our teacher’s salary pay are based on relevant teaching years of experience (steps) and education (bachelor or master's degree). I have been searching for some time to benchmark our pay against reliable data and have found this excellent survey report. I must say, it made my life much easier. It’s clear, informative, and straightforward, a must for any international school director to have.

As an international school director, this survey is a good source for teacher pay data. Although the author does not name specific international schools which I presume it’s for confidentiality purpose. Overall the survey report provides the necessary pay data & practices. A good contribution to international schools.

There are not that many international schools teachers pay survey reports out there, but this report understands teacher pay and lays it out in a clear and approachable manner. I recommend it for anyone responsible for establishing or reviewing teacher pay for an international school.

Our international school in Dubai required to benchmark teachers’ pay to ensure market competitiveness. We purchased their teacher survey report and made minor adjustments to our pay scale. Thank you for the report.
