I am also curious as they have been advertising a lot recently.

The pay is fairly low compared to most national plus schools, at least from the offer I was given a couple of years ago, but it is still reasonable. From what I've read, they do not provide housing assistance. I don't know about the working conditions, but anyone who has driven on the southern stretch of the outer ring road knows that the school itself looks very modern and nice.

I've had a look around their senior high school when I accompanied some students to an event there. The place looks well-equipped and they certainly have plenty of financial backing but their staff turnover is fairly high - I imagine in large part due to poor salary. The school I work for invariably gets applications from H/S teachers every time we advertise a vacancy and our salaries are not excessive.

Cheers Malu...

Anyone got any idea how poor we are talking here? I will ask them myself at some point, but forewarned etc...

Cheers

Salaries at this school ain't really the problem-16-18 mill for 1st year which is 'mid-range'.. What is a problem is the lack of an 'upfront' housing payout. Yeah they provide a 'housing allowance' built into the 16-18 mill salary, but it's paid 'by the month' not in advance-causes problems in the area of South jakarta if A] you don't have a house already, B] you don't want to pay excessive amount for a kost. And why can't they keep the teachers?[Indonesian and expat.] Maybe more at issue here than merely the salary! As in any case like this, SIS being the obvious example, ask to talk to those who are there about conditions/workload etc before you commit....
