Atlanta International School

Here is a 150-word review that sounds honest but still professional:

A typical day at Atlanta International School was very demanding, with a heavy workload and little work-life balance. I learned a lot about working with students from different cultures and the importance of being flexible, patient, and resilient as an educator. However, my experience with management was disappointing. I often felt unsupported, and I believe concerns around workload, fairness, and racism were not handled well.

The workplace culture looked diverse on the outside, especially with international days and cultural celebrations, but behind the scenes, it did not always feel inclusive or healthy. The hardest part of the job was managing the pressure, the lack of balance, and feeling unheard. The most enjoyable part was teaching the children, building relationships with students, and celebrating different cultures in the classroom.

Overall, this was one of the most difficult school environments I have worked in, and I would not recommend it.

Nice environment and a good place to work with multicultural and international teachers and children.
We work on a day A and day B. Day A is in Spanish or German or French. it depends where are the students enrolled, and on day B, we continue the instruction in English only.
Children are learners and teachers lead them, and guide them to their own learning objective.
Co workers are very cooperative and we all help each other.
The hardest part of the job is the poor communication and follow up of issues by the permanent change of school heads.
The most enjoyable part of my job is to get to know so many students with 94 different nationalities and different religions as well.

AIS is always innovating.  Be ready to learn and push yourself outside your comfort zone.  The students are amazing.  The teachers are amazing.  The program is amazing. In its search for excellence, sometimes AIS brings in new things without taking out old ones so at times it feels like it may be too much to handle, nevertheless you will hardly find another school where you grow so much in shorts periods of time.  At the same time you have to be mindful of your work-life balance.  In my experience, the level of stress is high.

Head of primary is very poor. No compassion, very influenced/scared of  one or two parents. No commitment to faculty.  She wants to look good but is ineffective as a leader. The students do not know her, she sits in her office all day. Has no idea what is going on in the school. Learning support team is  pulling the wool over her eyes - she thinks they are great, but they are hopeless, students get no support.

This was a fantastic place to work.  The staff is diverse and knowledgeable. The management team is also helpful in making the education of the children more effective in meeting the goals set by French-speaking families.

Productive,Motivated, challenging, accomplishing.
It has lots of opportunities to learn , collaborate and implement.
Management provides great help and support.

I loved the environment, very friendly, but at the same time commitment with doing a job with care and presence. Never a dull day working with kids! Also the feeling of doing your best at all times! Kids watch a behavior more than words. 
Absolutely amazing!!

I enjoyed working here. The school made you feel like it was a family. Always something to do so the time went by quickly. The best part about the job was know supervisor was looking over our shoulder.

Many long term/career employees are embedded and fuel an ongoing negative culture of, "I want what I want and I want it now, and I don't care how what I want negatively impacts you nor anyone else."
