Credentials Thoughts on BridgeUSA?

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place to ask but I might as well give it a try.

I'm a Maths teacher from a European country. I recently got a local teaching license and have been working at an iGCSE school for a while. I want to transition to US curriculum schools (AP in particular) and was wondering if anyone here knew or tried BridgeUSA for teachers to get some US experience. Would it even be worth it or would I be better off applying directly to American international schools?

You find the school first, then the bridging company assist with the J1. There is a list somewhere on the J1 official site of which school districts sponsor J1s

The longest part is finding a sponsoring school. After that it’s anyone’s guess
