Check out British International School, ISHCMC, and Saigon South. Those are the three most well known ones (to me at least). These three should offer a salary similar to the sort of pay you'd get in a UK school, plus accommodation, healthcare, school places for your kids, etc (to the best of my knowledge). Last time I saw a secondary teaching job advertised on Saigon South's website, it was $36k to $42k (from memory) depending on experience. There are plenty of other schools in the city with "international school" in their name, so it's hard to know which of the others are genuine. I've known people working for "international schools" without any proper teaching certificates, just a degree in the relevant subject.
