Can anyone tell me about this school? I can't find anything about them except some vague posts from 2 years ago.

Don't work there. I was trying to find a job for my friend a little while back and I talked to a foreign teacher there on the phone after actually having an argument with the guy who does the hiring. He didn't want to let me talk to a foreign teacher, so I told him then my friend wouldn't be interested in working there. So after arguing with me about it and telling me what an amazing position it was and how I dishonored the school (?), he finally let me talk to the entirely unenthusiastic, depressed sounding foreigner. It sounded like he was pulling a runner. He said that the person who had been there the longest was there for two months and she was a Korean-American who was discriminated against for being Asian. They also threatened not to hire my friend because she is Hispanic.

The place sounds sketchy. I'd steer clear.

haha, it was the most unprofessional interview ever. the guy didn't even tell me his name and he pointed out that several of his teachers pull midnight runners.

no brainer situation there.
