Run dont walk away

Pros

Most people get paid on time. Schools are in cheap locations. Canmove up quickly if they like you.

Cons

Pay is lower than at most international schools while hours are much longer. Running a club is required outside teaching time. There is no housing allowance. Schools are far from city centers so unless you have Mandarin fluency life is hard. Advancement seems to favor cute, perky girls or jocks. A boys club that no woman has ever gotten into. If you dont get drunk with the boys you wont move up. There have been three superintendents in the last three years. The current superintendent was promoted after less than two years with the company and has admitted to barely knowing the curriculum, which every one knows is a rip off of British Columbia's but everyone just pretends not to notice. Students are bottom of the barrel and most speak zero English but if they have money they are pushed in. You get pressured to pass them even if they dont deserve to. Getting smaller every year. Many teachers fired because of shrinkage.Science teachers need not apply. They only hire former graduates who have been promised jobs. More a business than a school focused on education quality. Dont even consider this hot mess.

Pros

Providing an international education to 10s of thousands of Chinese students is a noble cause and the school group is serious and committed in its teaching.

Cons

High turnover in the business team at the top of the company.
