Are they a REAL international school or one of those fake ones? Anyone ever work there before? Comments?

The ad says there is only one week of vacation which sounds fishy or just plain wrong. I wouldn't work there if this wasn't negotiable.

Thanks for any information!

Edit: I just checked their website...looks dodgy and it says nothing about accreditation. And they seem a bit too serious about Chritianity.

Does anyone know what denomination they might be?

Some of my hagwon's students go there. As far as I can tell its real and the kids are all Koreans who were born in the states and who have great English.

They tend to be a tad brainwashed through, they had so much creationism stuffed into their little heads that they told me that each of the different breeds of dogs were all created that way by God.

There's heaps of International Schools in South Korea. You are probably too late for a job for the next school year. I'd advise starting to look between Dec-Feb for a July/August start. That said, there's always a chance... someone decides to leave or not take the position etc.
This site has heaps of links to schools http://www.shambles.net/southkorea/index.htm
I would advise not to take a job in a religious international school, if you don't share those beliefs. I think that they can be pretty hardcore.

I worked for an international school 05-06, and I was hired late July.
