Re: Size of School?

Are there negatives such as increased work load or teaching committments? I imagine having just 1 subject teacher for each specialism has its downside?

Size of School?

Just wondering what experienced IT's view were on the pros and cons of working in small (say 1 form per year group) international schools?

Most school's seem to be a lot smaller than the average size British secondary but 1 class per year group is not uncommon - is this a negative / something to avoid or are there advantages?

Any thoughts?

Re: Sri kdu school, KL, malaysia

Does that mean it's best avoided or would it be a reasonable experience?

Bromsgrove School?

The reviews on the paid side are quite mixed so its hard to judge what it is actually like. Anyone got any opinions on the life of a teacher there I terms of workload and commitments? Is there a requirement yo be involved in the boarding school etc?

The school seems quite a way out of Bangkok so does that make it harder to enjoy the city / have a life outside school as a single female?

Any thoughts gratefully received!

Re: Kinabalu International School

It is in Kota Kinabalu and is relatively new so I was hoping someone who has experience there might be able to give a heads up as to whether it would be a good move.

Re: Charter International School Bangkok

Thanks for the input, your assessment is similar to what I had thought.

Anyone ekes heard anything / got anything to add? I'm an experienced teacher but new to the international circuit so still figuring out what school and location would be a good fit.

Any input helpful!

Charter International School Bangkok

Hi - there are some positions at this school but no review on the paid site. It is quite a small school but does anyone know anything else about it? I have a feeling it will be quite heavily staffed with local hires but I may be very wrong!

Thanks in advance for any info
