There is a chance that some of the teachers may be active on this group

If not, then there are certainly lots of people from okpo who are and they may be able to provide you with a bit more information.

Watch out if it's a new international school! Some of them can be worse than schools where nobody can speak English!

I can confirm it is not a new school and it is a 'proper' international school. I was living in Geoje 10 years + ago and it was there then and has been around longer than that. There is a foreigners club not so far from the school and the school is mainly made up of the children of the engineers who work at the nearby Daewoo Shipyard. Okpo is not a bad place to live and having been back there recently, lots of things have changed. A nice varied international community, mainly made up of expat engineers as I said earlier.

Sorry, can't help as to the teaching conditions though. I believe the school is funded by the Daewoo Shipyard and tuition fees are very high (as expected). Usually the shipping companies pay for that fortunately for the engineers from what I've heard. School is pretty small so if you get a job there you wont be teaching huge classes.

Job is already taken. I wish they'd take old ads off.

Just out of interest, can you post the link to the old ad? Curious to know what their T&C's were.
