Can anyone tell me about this school? I have been on to their website and it seems fantastic. I would particularly like to know the name of their Head Teacher, if anyone knows this. Actually any info on the school - good or bad reports, anything - would be helpful. I am thinking of applying for a Classroom Teacher position at the ISCS, but would like a bit more info other than what is on their website. Thanks.

I haven't been in the school myself, but it's an IB school, right? If this is the one, it's performance is considered to be extremely poor.

Hi there,
it does have a good reputation amongst western muslim expats. It has a strong islamic ethos, I know several people who have worked there and I believe the overseas package has been improved recently.
hope that helps

Thank you Umzakaria and Zoot. Both comments help. Forgive me for being ignorant, but what is an IB school? I am a woman, and am concerned about a strong Islamic ethos. Hence why I was asking about the Head Teacher's name.
