[quote=Anonymous]I also have a teacher friend who is taking up a position there.  I am pretty sceptical about some of their plans but, given the amount they have invested in the refurbishment, I can't imagine it would be allowed to fold quickly.  I do believe that, as with all new ventures, they have presented a rosy picture of plans to potential employees and applicants and many things might be stalled or not happen.  So you should ask yourself what it is about the school that attracts you and whether that is something that might not eventuate.  For example, maybe you love the idea of your kid spending a term at their campus in Mumbai or wherever but that campus is delayed during the roll out or never happens.  Or maybe you love the idea of a multicultural classroom with meaningful interaction with students from other countries but the large numbers of Chinese students mean that they are not truly integrated and end up staying to their own communities.  I would also focus on very specific questions about the curriculum such as what math program they will follow, how will they ensure all areas of math knowledge will be systematically addressed given they are touting a multi-disciplinary project-based approach which would require different disciplines being integrated, etc.[/quote]
