      Pros

      Lots of young fun people, good for just getting out of college, fun activities

      Cons

      Feel like you are in high school, terrible pay, poor management that only cares about goals and making their own money and not concerned with you, you are replaceable, long hours expected with no over time

      Bottom line first, at the cost of the best interest of students.

      Pros

      Interesting colleagues and students from around the world.

      Cons

      Struggling students were encouraged to re-enroll, though it was clearly not in their best interest. True academic feedback hidden from parents. Treatment of some students and staff seemed racist, with little regard given to Asian students, and extra resources and support, and consideration to European students. Chaotic, disorganized, and occasionally dangerous student services and support for boarding students.

      Thank you for your review. You're right in noting that the teachers and staff at the Academy are incredibly talented, passionate and committed to their students’ academic and personal growth. The multicultural and diverse community at the Academy adds to the value of the experience for the students, faculty and staff alike, many of whom are drawn to working at the Academy because they love the challenge that comes with supporting students from backgrounds that are diverse in every dimension. I disagree with your characterization of the school’s student services and support. As a residential campus, investing in the safety of students, faculty and staff is of the utmost priority. -- Mike Kaufman, Sr. Director of People Operations
