Teachers read these pages to decide whether an offer will work financially, professionally, and personally. Specific, balanced reports help more than a score alone. For how we aggregate and moderate data, see how we handle data.
Include concrete details. "Planning time was two free periods a week; meetings ran into most evenings" helps more than "Busy place."
Useful topics: leadership responsiveness, workload and weekly hours, teaching load and preparations, planning time, class sizes, student and admin support, resources, professional development, staff turnover, and whether promised benefits matched reality.
Share what was better than expected and what was harder than expected. Readers need both sides to weigh an offer.
What would you tell a colleague before they resign and relocate? Who is likely to thrive here, and who might struggle?
Only review schools where you actually worked. Mention when you were there. Leadership and conditions change, and dates help readers interpret older reports.
Role, department or subject, grade level, and approximate years at the school help explain why two honest reviews may disagree.
Don't name or identify specific individuals. Focus on policies and practices, not personalities.
Content that discriminates based on race, gender, religion, or other protected characteristics will be removed.
Don't exaggerate or invent details. Stick to what you personally experienced.
Don't share information you're legally obligated to keep confidential.
Reviews should be genuine, not promotional content or competitive attacks.
In small international-school communities, stacking role, department, exact dates, and personal details can identify someone. Prefer non-identifying context.
Share what you actually earned, not advertised ranges or what you heard others make.
Housing or housing allowance, flights (and whether dependents are covered), insurance, tax or take-home context, relocation support, tuition benefits, pension or gratuity, and estimated monthly savings all change which offer is actually better.
Savings potential is teacher-reported and depends on lifestyle and family situation. Note the year and currency so readers do not treat an old figure as a current guarantee.
Salaries vary by position, experience, and qualifications. Provide role and experience context so your data is useful.
Accepting an international post often means resigning, relocating, and arranging visas. If you want to mention recruitment, concrete details help:
Every review and salary report is reviewed manually before publishing. Approval usually takes a few days. The possible outcomes:
Schools cannot pay to remove negative reviews. Removals happen only for documented policy violations.
Use the "Report" button on the review or salary report. Every flagged item is checked. Reports that turn out to be substantive (defamation, identifying named staff, false information) result in removal; reports that are just a school disagreeing with negative-but-honest content do not.
