[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has a terrible reputation among teachers.

As a longtime expat and teacher at international schools in multiple countries, I know a lot of teachers and worked with some who had done a stint at BIS.  In addition, there is a website called International Schools Review on which teachers can leave anonymous reviews on international schools around the world.  BIS has multiple reviews here by teachers who have worked there, several quite recently/this year.  It would be worth the $30 for an ISR subscription to see them.

It would be far better to choose a reputable independent school in the area.[/quote]

I’m a teacher at the school and was surprised by this comment. I went on the International Schools Review and did not see anything that is particularly worse than what has been said about any other school. If anything, it had much better reviews relative to most others. The school is not perfect as an employer but nowhere is. I find it much better than most other schools I’ve worked at. I have been here now for six years, and I have 16 years of experience across three continents. BISW had a relatively low turnover of teachers compared to most other schools I know. The main reason people leave is usually for family and personal reasons.[/quote]
