Jumeira Baccalaureate School

Hi there all.

Does anyone have any information regarding JBS - the school management, students and curriculum?

Any comments would be appreciated

Thanks

It's owned by a for-profit company, Taaleem. I can't speak to the specific ethos of the school, as the individual admins can sometimes shield their teachers from some of the parent company's shenanigans. Or conversely, they can intensify the problems if they're not looking out for their teachers. The company is not the shadiest in Dubai, to be sure, but that's faint praise indeed.

If you are truly desperate for this job, then you'd be fine for a couple if years to get some experience. Just know that the contract will always favor the company; they will be sure to twist it to make sure that it does, no matter how impossible their interpretation is. If you have any real experience in international teaching, and/or other offers on the line, don't waste your time.

Thanks Monkey for the response...does Taaleem have a great input into the daily running of the school?....I imagine there would be a team of their advisors situated in school ...its also an IB school -any more thoughts?...
