Pros

The only pro is the relationships that are formed with students and families.

Cons

Extremely toxic environment, horrible and cliquey leadership, especially the principal and managing director. Principal does a lot of lip service, but rarely delivers. Favoritism is huge, and people are promoted to leadership positions with little to no experience. There are inconsistencies among leaders/deans with regards to student culture and therefore students are not held accountable and are extremely disrespectful. No respect for the staff, their time, and work/life balance doesn’t exist. The absolute worse place for someone to work if you still love kids and love teaching because this place will make you hate it.
