Does anyone have any information about this school please? I noticed an earlier thread about it but would be grateful for any opinions or recommendations. Also for Matsuyama itself - what is the city like?

Much appreciated

Nice view from the castle. Lots and lots of covered shopping arcades. The capsule hotel near the station completely sucks. Sorry, don't know about the school.

I have worked there in the past and occasionally do some part time work for Joshua. I'd recommend it as it's generally a good place to work and he keeps his promises. He doesn't suffer fools gladly so don't waste his time and you'll go well there.
Matsuyama itself is a pleasant enough city but you'll be in a fairly rural and conservative area of Japan so keep that in mind.

Thanks for that both, its appreciated

I recall that the previous thread wasn't that long ago. If the teacher who filled the position back then has left (and you would be filling the very same position), I'd take that as a worrying sign (high staff turnover=stressful conditions etc). Then again, the school could simply be expanding at a fast rate and needing the new teachers for genuinely new classes/positions.

Fair enough.
