Pros
- student levels are based on ability, not actual age so the classes are a bigger mix of age groups (Different from Canadian/USA system) - students are generally very inquisitive and quick to learn (because they teach lower curriculum to fit the younger student maturity level) - 3-4 adults per class of 25-35 students (NOT all are ECE or OCT as advertised)
Cons
- Only one upper grade class of Grade 3. (No classes for students under grade 3) - No upper management in the education field (Top priority is profits not student achievement) - Advertisement says that the teachers... "meet and often exceed the necessary qualifications required for licensed childcare centres; with each room having a qualified E.C.E. (Early Childhood Educator). " The truth was that only 1 of the 4 teachers was ECE or a Canadian certified teacher or who simply smoke was a native English speaker (They did not all have the necessary and experience to be leading a class of over 28 Kindergarten students with 3 staff that speak minimal English. - Eminent threats with the labour ministry to lock us up if we left our contract. (3 different employees) - Eminent threats of paying over $10,000 USD for breaking a contract that is vagued and only protects them. (4 employees) - They can/will fire you for any questions that they seem inappropriate. - Will be fired if you ask for a smaller than 31 class size for Grade 1 - Will be fired if you ask about the School's REAL accreditation.
