Hello everyone. Just a query about schooling in Dhahran. I have received an offer from KFUPM and if all goes well I should take up the position in September. I have a son who will be seven at that time. I know there is a British school in Al Khobar but does anyone have children at that school and what are the standards. Also their website suggests applying in July
,will we need to pay up, front bearing mind that KPUFM will be paying the majority of the fees from September. I have tried contacting KFUPM about this and other matters but I think they are still busy with the February intake of teachers.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice. Kipling Very Happy

Hi, Kpiling: I was interviewed by the KFUPM in March, and like to exchange some ideas on the employment there. I sent PM to you. Could you please check you inbox? Thanks! Hehaheha

Mr h,
I sent you a PM, re: Salary but you should check out the KFUPM ads in TEFL.com or here on this site. They seem pretty upfront about the salary scales.
Cheers K

Thanks so much, Kipling!
I didn't see any pay scale from them, that is why I was kind of confused by differrent information.
PM sent to you!

As someone who thinks that overhead camshaft and 16 valve are computer terminology, I haven't clue what the above means.
Thanks anyway....love the avatar.

Dear Kipling,
Strange - because I had no difficulty at all accessing the site.
Regards,
John
