Amman Baccalaureate School and Stonehill in Bangalore, India

[senator]

The school in Jordan looks really good as does the Bangalore one. But they still are looking for some teachers despite the solid packages stated on their Search profiles.

Does anyone know anything about either?

Thanks.

Stonehill is in Bangalore India. There is A LOT to be said for the location factor. Their IB DP program is small. Other things have been written lately on this board.

I can't speak to the school a whole lot but I have worked in Amman. I didn't hear much negative about ABS, but I believe it tends to have a more local population as opposed to the American school or others. Jordan is a fascinating country with lots of historical/biblical sites to explore. It is a very progressive Muslim country, people are friendly, especially if you have children. Very safe, political unrest that you are seeing elsewhere is very minimal in Jordan. Almost everyone you encounter speaks at least passable English if not fluent. You can find most Western items, stores, and restaurants.
