Pros

Great learning opportunities. Some of the best professional development. Loved working with kids and families who really cared.

Cons

Long hours, non-collaborative work environment, strange company culture (lots of gossip, talking about other teachers, trying to "beat" other teachers' data). There is overall a lack of compassion, camaraderie and teamwork both among and between different grade teams.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you found value in our professional development and enjoyed working with our kids and families. It is unfortunate to hear about your feelings about our staff culture. Your experience does not align with most of the other feedback we’ve received but we will definitely continue to focus on building and maintaining a tight and positive staff culture.

Pros

People at the school are highly motivated, competent and willing to take time to help you improve. Professional development is strong. Things are organized and well run. Kids are in control. Raises can be very generous, especially after you make it past your first two years of teaching. There is lots of opportunity to grow into leadership roles.

Cons

The hours can be long and above & beyond efforts are not always recognized. Sometimes it can be hard to stick to the tight schedule.
