Bina Bangsa - about the school not the location

I am here at UNI, and there's a girl here with an offer from Bina Bangsa, but we can't find any reviews about the school itself. The other forum post just talked about the location. Anyone know anything about the school? The principals? The curriculum? The kids?

Thanks!

Does anyone have the email or contact info. for this school ?

Is it located in Indonesia or do I have my schools mixed up ?

Oops- nevermind. Did some Googling and sounds like you have to share housing!

I interviewed with them last year. I nearly took the job because it sounded like an okay gig and the principal seemed like a great guy. But I ultimately said no for the following reasons:

1. Location. Northern Jakarta. I asked around and basically it's a terrible part of Jakarta.
2. Although they teach IGCSE, I wanted an IB school.
3. Mostly local kids so not really "international" in the true sense of the word.
4. Salary. Just wasn't enough, plus the housing allowance they give you is a joke. Not sure about the shared housing - I think you have that option or they give you an allowance.
