Footprints Recruiting

The majority of English schools in China provide their teachers with free housing. Some schools that offer higher starting salaries may exclude housing, be sure to read your contract completely. We highly recommend contracts that include housing for your first job.

Teacher apartments in China are usually either on campus or very close. These apartments will be furnished with basic necessities- a western style bed, some chairs, a table, a bureau, a TV, a fridge, a washing machine and perhaps a VCR and or a computer and a western style toilet. The only places where you will experience traditional ‘squat’ style toilets- basically a porcelain covered hole in the floor- is in the countryside and in some public restrooms (but these are becoming less and less common). I repeat - you will NOT have a squat toilet in your apartment- you will have a normal, western style flush toilet.
