ENS

I was trying to get across the point that IF a school has HUGE losses of staff (which people seem to indicate with ENS) that 15/20 people would not be a great deal of people given the circumstances.
I've heard some really bad things about this school since last posting. Apparently, the buildings are good and facilities are good, but teachers are asked to do stuff well outside their job description. Ignore my previous posts, this school sounds like the worst that is out there.

ENS

Done lots of independant research.difficult to tell if school is really as bad as is stated. Quotes like "absolute hell" "worst school on the planet" "teachers were called onions cos you can always get more from the market" "teachers cry on the way to school on the bus" and "like an outpatients clinic" seem to be the norm. Knew a teacher who worked there 3 years ago who hated it-often complaining about everything under the sun on the phone- but unreliable as suffered a nervous breakdown and is no longer in teaching.
School facilities are excellent,some of the best i've researched,but i personally wouldn't work there, lots of people breaking contracts in the middle of the night (something i find despicable), school will never improve if people break contract.Anyways-there is a very long forum on this on another page. take it all with a pinch of salt. if EVERYONE who worked at this school felt this way,there would be an awful lot more written (as presumably the message has got round about international schools review) I reality,i've only read about 15/20 teachers reviewing this school as bad. there must be an awful lot of other teachers out there who feel the school is ok.
if i wanted to work in Abu Dhabi i would give it a shot and i would fulfil my 2 year contract. however, don't take my advice as law, i've never worked for the school.
