[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked at a boarding school.

If you are willing to do boarding duties, and I am assuing you are, this compensate for your lack of a masters at this point.  They like young, enthusiastic teachers who are willing to do boarding and enthusiastically get involved with campus life.  A lot of older teachers at boarding schools started as young newbies and discovered they loved boarding life, and stayed on (I didn't).

A main purpose of this interview is to see how you communicate and relate to others.  It's a personality demo.  And it is important if you are going to be living on campus with students.  Teaching with boarding duties means a long day, into the night, and you need to be the kind of person who can remain calm and pleasant, and who will work well with the team.  I would assume they are already happy with your teaching credentials and references, so this is now a character and will-she-gel-with-the-team final hurdle.  They like you, or you wouldn't be invited to this stage.

Thanks. I am not young (40s) and I have 2 children. I want to be involved but I’m not sure they have a house for us on campus.[/quote]
