It's great to see that AAGE is being talked about! I work at the new school and I was hoping to clear up a couple points of confusion I saw in earlier postings.
We are actually a non-profit school, though we do have new facilities and great resources, we have a great development department that have done a wonderful job at raising money for our school. You can read more about our sponsors and staff on our website!
I understand where you get the idea of a 'corporate' school. Long story short: AAGE is the result of a two to three year cooperation of bigger business, the local university, and the municipality. Basically, there was a drop in foreign talent between business and research at the university, so some top people got together and decided that a new international school, that was geared for the IB, and that offered a kindergarten would be in order. So AAGE was born with some big supporters.
We understand that Aarhus is NOT Copenhagen, but that doesn't mean that the international children can't have the same quality of education. Aarhus is a small and quaint city of 300,000. Though taxes and weather can be discouraging for some, it all boils down to personal choice, and I actually enjoy the culture and aesthetic that Aarhus offers. I am an EU citizen so the move wasn't too much of a hassle.
AAGE is not head-hunting, we have never offered incentives or bonuses. Our expat packages are still being worked on since we will be hiring new teachers to start in August when we open our PYP and MYP areas. We are happy to hire foreigners (for example myself) and our openings are posted on Search Associates. We will be attending the London fair and job inquiries can be sent to jobs@aarhusacademy.dk, we would be happy to hear from you!
