Additional Notes

Great facilities. Mediocre to poor admin. Busybody time wasters whose heads are filled with jargon. Little care for students, but lots of lip service. A very unsatisfying place to work but the golden handcuffs are too big to cast off. Teachers range from good (many!) to substandard ass kissers (many!). Students are all Chinese since Covid. Not really an international school.
