I am quite amazed and by all these posts about KISQ. i am a british teacher who has been teaching at KISQ for the last 4 years. my experience hasn't been all that bad. like any job there are its perks and its qwerks but overall i have enjoyed my time here. like any school i find KISQ needs to refine some of their procedures. the effect is mostly a burden to the korean teachers andstudents, and NOT the western department and issues are actually kept away from us. i do teach 3 grades so the workload can be heavy in the 1st year then after that its quite a fulfilling position. the semesters can be quite busy like any school with grading, test prep. class prep and so forth, but with the really long PAID vacations makes it worth it.

the students are great and being korean under korean standards the students do try and work hard with the strenuous effort required for many more subjects taught compared to regular schools. in KISQ students are taught 3 languages (chinese ,korean and english) and compulsory subjects may be taught in korean and English so the students do have more exams and compulsory subjects than regular schools. so i do sympathize with them.

overall i find myself and coworkers quite happy and satisfied working at KISQ. The previous manager had caused some issues to arise but now he has left, the environment has been quite harmonious.
