You visit the school,you think it’s amazing. Once you enroll your child you find out how unprofessional this place is. The staff are unprofessional and I don’t think they are even qualified to be teaching. They accept teachers without even reviewing their qualifications and I know that because they offered me a homeroom teacher position without even reviewing my qualifications. I’m glad I didn’t accept the position. A lot of racism at that place. Not only students, but even the so called teachers. One of the teachers would tell a “Syrian student” why are you here, go back to your country!! A teacher turned off the classroom lights and wondered where an African student was indicating that he is too dark skinned to see!! Students are being bullied by other students and teachers as well. As a joke, the teachers would hit and slap the students and they are very touchy. No proper action taken from the administration. Some teachers flirt around with students. A hijabi girl got hit by a boy and had her hijab taken out of her head. No one took proper action. Instead a teacher said I will talk to him tomorrow. The so called school accepts Turkish students which is against the law. Whenever the ministry sends a crew to check they just go around hiding the Turkish students or even taking them to the mall to cover up. And they ask students to help them cover up. So this is teaching the kids that it’s ok to break rules!! No AC in the classrooms, when a student asked to have another window open because it was very warm, the teacher got mad and closed the open window to intimidate him. I did not mention yet the cleanliness of this place! It’s disgusting! The pipes that take out the bathroom filth are visible next to the cafeteria!! In summary, the so called school cares about making money instead of being a school to provide education. I already took my child out of this school even though it was almost towards the end of the first semester.
