Does anyone have any information on this school?
Thank you

I found a link with information about the school, but will not post it here due to the nature of the post. I will send the link via PM and then you can read for yourself what others have said about it. In a word, caution should be exercised. Good luck on your employment search.

For anyone who searches on EIEL in the future: Do yourself a favor and DO NOT TAKE A POSITION HERE. I stayed for four months in 2012, and I kept in touch with the teaching staff while there. During my stay, one other teacher left, one was fired, and the others really wanted to quit. After I left, three of the replacement teachers left before their one year mark. I almost had to blackmail my way to a release letter.

The school was cutting way back on funding, making all of the teachers work as much overtime as they can squeeze out of you, has some very sketchy practices, NO sense of organization, no curriculum, constant changes that made no sense, and a very negative atmosphere. You will have to fight tooth and nail for anything. I have never had another job I dreaded going to like I dreaded going to this one. The kids were great, I and I liked some of my coworkers. Everything else was utter crap, and I heard it just kept going downhill. Also, you don't get medical insurance or pension. The contract lies...surprise.
