Pros

Working with a younger group of people is nice. They provide all classroom supplies needed and didn't need to pay much out of pocket.

Cons

AF claims they want to retain their teachers year after year yet do not offer a realistic work/life balance. Then they ask for your feedback, but will not take any of it. They guilt their teachers into over working for the "kids", but is actually extremely toxic and burning out good teachers. Teachers have hardly any autonomy over how they teach or any rights. It is AF's way or no way. They also are extremely controlling over students' bodies and how they have to sit throughout the day. I would never recommend any child going to AF or anybody to work for AF.

Pros

Working with students and some really inspiring teachers

Cons

Everyone was burnt out which made even the best leaders struggle. Hopefully this has improved post-Covid.
