Hi,

My husband and I are looking at teaching English in Taiwan however we have a 7 year old son and would like to know how he would be schooled, and the cost for him to be schooled while still being able to make decent money as Teachers.

We have Taiwanese friends living in Chiayi and are looking at living in that area. We are not professional teachers but hold many years of experience in jobs which entail high English proficiency, my husband being a Sales Manager and I have always worked in the administration/secretarial field within Law Offices and Accounting. Our aim would be to live and work in Taiwan for at least 2 years, with an aim to learning Mandarin and gaining financial security while living in decent accommodation. We would appreciate as much information to help us in this regard so we can compare all avenues in making the right decision, eg, cost of living, schooling for our son, wages, tax, etc.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.
