I'm considering accepting a job offer to work at Aci Preschool in either Levent or Bahcekoy (the Turkish school, not American Collegiate Institute). I've emailed a current teacher, but I haven't heard back yet and I don't want to wait too long to accept the offer.

The package seems really good and the school looks great on the website.

If anybody has any insight, please share!

Hey,
I've signed with A�i pre school in Istanbul for the next academic year (2010) and all I can do is sing their praises, they are the most professional school I have ever dealt with in Istanbul and I can't wait to get started in August. You'll always hear horror stories about any pre-school or primary school you'll go to in Turkey.. thats normal here, I'm really pleased to be signed with them. Are you currently in the country?

all the best..

Hi!

I'm glad to hear of your good experience with them, especially from someone who's had 3 years' experience in Turkey. Which school are you at? I'll be at one of the preschool campuses, but I'm not sure which yet.

I've decided to sign with them, and I'll be arriving in August!

Hi Pamjane, congratulations on signing with them, I know that they are really expanding their foreign department this year, and they are waiting for many people to fly in. I'll be located at the Levent preschool, its where I wanted to be located and I signed my contract so long ago I think they let me be signed to that area. Where will you be living when you come to Turkey? and have you lived in Istanbul before?

all the best,

Sian.

Hi Sian,

I'm not sure if I'll be at the Bah�ek�y (Sariyer) or Levent campus. I think I'll just let them surprise me when I get there. hehe. Maybe we'll be working together.

I've never been to Turkey before, but everything I've read paints a picture of a fantastic place to live. I'm excited!

Hi Sian,

I was also offered a position at Aci. The contract seems great and your endorsement is encouraging. Have they delivered thus far on everything they promise? Thanks!
