I am about to reject an offer with King AbdulAziz Uni (ELI Institute) because of the low salary offered and I just wanted to know is there anyone out there who has any information about Jeddah Knowledge School?

Relevant info would be:-

-What is the starting salary for someone who has MA Education, Tefl, and 5 years teaching experience.

-What comes with the full package on offer?

-General info about the school and the environment

If you do an Internet search on jeddah knowledge school forum review, you'll find plenty of info and discussions about the school.

In general, not a good place.

Rich spoiled kids, you will be more of a babysitter than a teacher. And parents want their kids to get good grades and no one can fail. That's what I have read about the boys' section.

I know two teachers that work there. Parents pay around 56,000sr a year per child, so I would image that some parents expect a lot for that amount, but I haven't heard much in terms of over demanding parents.

My advice is to avoid privately-run, for-profit schools in KSA. You will encounter only Grief and Sorrow.
