Graduate Scholl

I've recently been freaking out about the idea of graduate school. I decided i want to go and get a masters degree so that i can get a job as a teacher in the future. However, i feel like i am getting lost in the search for the right school. I am graduating this year with a bfa in animation. I would like to find a program that is based on film making and experimental animation, and unless the program is amazing and very affordable, I prefer to find a school that is outside of the United States(ie. away from massachusetts). Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to narrow down my search? Or any schools to look into? Right now my list looks like:

Edinburgh
Royal College
Concordia
Calarts
Otis
Savannah

Sorry about the cross posting.

are you going right from getting your bfa, then to graduate school then to teaching? Or do you have some background in the industry to add to this? I have a degree in animation and after a three year break I'm also applying to graduate school, with the idea of teaching. But I don't think that I'm going to teach the kiddies how to animate. I don't feel qualified. So, I am looking into graduate schools with other programs that I can use my skills in other fields. I'm just kinda wondering exactly where you are going with this. It would be helpful to know. also I checked out gradschools.com (I think thats the site) THey had lists of programs availiable and links to the univerisity websites.

Don't do nothing because you can't do everything.

my plan.

Im planning on going to grad school to further my own artist process/vision... so i can keep making films under the safe umbrella of school, and pursue making something of very high quality (ie. a thesis film) Grad school is so that I can get a masters (a degree required for teaching at some point) I don't plan on teaching right away, just that I know I am interested in it and would like to do all I can to have that oppurtunity in the future. I simply would like to get grad school out of the way while I am still willing to make the financial investment.

also.

Yes, I am planning on going directly into grad school from undergraduate work. Either that or I am planning to take a year in between.
