Hope it helps.
For the record thay have been around a couple of years now and have never had a report filed with SSETT. I can find no public or confidential reports outside of the ones listed above.
On a scale of 1 (awful) to 10 (amazing) we give them a 7.5 which is exceptional for a chain school.
Good luck,
A.

I know somebody who worked there when it first opened (about two and a half years ago I believe, he may still be there). He seemed to be pretty happy.

Your friend may still be there - but he may be one of the 21 that left all at once at the beginning of this school year. Only six teachers of the original remained when all the others walked. Apparently, things changed quite quickly and the teachers collectively decided the working conditions weren't tolerable.

I know of one teacher who left just over a year ago as he was intending to pursue other interests in Asia. He is back in Taiwan again now, and back at that school. This says a lot to me. We have all probably thought of resigning, or even resigned, when things weren't going well in a job, but for someone to go back to a school after a year or more's absence is a good indication that this would be a worthwhile school to work for.

As far as I can determine, the location is the only downside to the school. But then again, being on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere may be the ideal situation for some, so this may not be a downside at all. It depends upon perspective.

Well that's good of you to give them a rating like this. The only problem is that this school is not a chain school. It is a private school with a section for mainstream schooling including elementary and junior high school, and a seperate preschool program which goes under another name.
