Pros

The students are all quite nice and respectful. The campus is beautiful. Lunch is provided on weekdays, and dinner is available if you live on campus. Housing is provided for some faculty. This is an IB school.

Cons

Students are required to do sports for between 2 to 5 hours each weekday, with games on weekends. This makes studying for IBDP material very difficult since time is at a premium. Many of the girls are self-distracted by social media. This is common, but a serious drawback for IB students. The Head of the school has favorite teachers and students and the rest do not warrant much attention. There is a high level of distrust and a lot of the school is for show. The Academic Dean is the saving grace of the school, and could not function without her. Despite her efforts, there is a high turnover, particularly for teachers who have been here less than 4 years. For faculty with housing, the extra demands on time are quite extraordinary.

Pros

Great campus, Hard working faculty

Cons

The school leader is only interested in buildings and keeping students happy. If a student complains you are out of the door. You are accountable for everything, if you lose your key to the classroom you get to pay for the lock to be replaced. You are on call 24/7 and if you break contract be prepared to get a bill for the job search. Very wide range of student abilities, but its ok you will be encouraged to pass all of them

Pros

Gorgeous campus. Hardworking, dedicated students.

Cons

There is a hierarchy within the faculty and staff of the school. Nobody is friendly to you outside of them needing something from you. You do not feel cared about or valued as an employee - senior management will take advantage of your time and any niceness you show.
