Anybody know anything about this school?

Has anybody taught there?

Thanks.

No, but it sounds interesting. I already signed a contract for a September job at a university, so if you want to tell me where it is located I can tell you if it is a good location. Pretty much anything in Chaoyang or Haidian are popular spots with easy access to places. Next would be Changping and Shunyi. If you prefer the south then look into Dashing or Tongzhou.

If you are only interested in teaching Koreans, then consider a different area entirely. Qingdao, Dalian, and Shenyang (Xita is Korea Town, I lived near there) are good spots for Koreans. They are all in the northeastern part of China.

I work at the equivalent of that school in a different city in China. Just like in Korean public school, it all depends on your administration and co-workers as to your experience if it is anything like my school (which is pretty damn good). You can bank some decent coin (over 4 mil krw a month with housing allowance) and get lots of paid vacation.

You need a B.Ed with Teacher Certification or a Master's, right?
