Does anyone know anything about the International School of Macao?

One of the students told me the food in the cafeteria is horrible. :-) Sorry, I don't have anything better than that. Macao would be a kind of interesting place to live for a few years. Being that close to HK would be pretty nice.

It appears they follow the Alberta, Canada curriculum (Alberta has invested billions into developing their curriculum and curriculum assessment over the past 20 years) which is a solid curriculum.
From reviews, it seems a decent enough place to be. Macao is not huge, though, although it is only an hour and a bit to HK by hydrofoil, which is not super-expensive.

I have interviewed with them before. Seems like an okay place - appeared there were workload expectations (Medium to high)
Package looked okay but housing prices there are really high. Not sure if the allowance covers the costs, as well as the set up costs there are quite high.

Thanks all for your input! It looks like the school has completed their hiring for this year, but maybe next year!
