Pros
As an independent school without a rigorous curriculum, lesson plans are flexible. Parents can afford to support the school—small class sizes.
Cons
The school wants to keep tuition-paying pupils, which often means caving into parents to keep them paying and pleased. The school spends money on projects without getting feedback from faculty and employees about their usefulness. The school lacks diversity across the spectrum of social and cultural backgrounds, religion, ableism, and sexual orientation. Salary negotiations are challenging. There is no union, which restricts collaboration with other institutions. No union also means minimal support from other teachers in the district. On par with independent schools, certain administrators are challenging to deal with.
