Aspara,
I think the word you're thinking of is "borough"; boroughs are like neighborhoods of cities, but still in the city itself, like the West End would be considered a borough of London. |
London is a too complicated an example to use but I'm going to have to go with Aspara here. For Americans, suburb maybe something different but since you used London as the example then some of the inner London boroughs are technically inner suburbs surrounding Central London (aka. the City of London, which is pretty much the one square mile that is the financial heart of London), with the exception of the Westminister borough which is actually a city in its own right. Much of the area outside of this central area (including the outer boroughs) is still part of Greater London but some is actually in other provences of the UK such as Bromley which is in Kent or Epping which is in Essex. The outer boroughs are considered outer suburbs of London despite some not even really being London.
But I should point out that the West End is not and is not considered one of the 32 London boroughs. I'm not too sure but it might actually be part of the City of Westminister "borough" so probably still part of the urban area.
And many cities don't have boroughs at all. |

I took the Aeon interview this Monday (May 4) in New York. The recruiters said that the earliest they could place new teachers was October. Furthermore, they said that Aeon veterans who had paid their dues in rural locations have dibs on openings in Tokyo and Osaka.
Also, a important point which is missing on the website but stressed in the information session is that most students are young children. Even if you apply to the Aeon division rather than Amity (the designated children's school) you will almost certainly end up with toddlers. The recruiters show you an amusing video of foreign teachers singing and dancing to "The Hello Song".
This kind of school may be exactly what you are looking for, but, heads-up to people who were expecting a more cerebral classroom. |
