Busy workloads at a for profit school meant that teachers were working overtime on weekends. Staff salaries could have been higher when compared with other international school.

More of a Business than a School

Teacher (Former Employee) - Singapore - August 16, 2017

The students are great and the colleagues you great to work with are really good for the most part. The school is far more interested in making money though, sometimes at the expense of what is best for the students. The pay is also less than most schools in the area, even though more time is required.

Stamford American International School

Relief Teacher (Current Employee) - Upper Serangoon - June 8, 2016

Stamford is an IB school and we believe in encouraging our children to achieve more than they expect. Its based more on research and project based learning. Teaching at Stamford has helped me to enhance my teaching skills are be a life-long learner. We have a great management that takes interest in students and teachers needs. We believe in giving respect and maintaining a multicultural environment. I enjoy teaching and helping each child to believe that they can achieve their goals. The hardest part of the job is there is never enough time.
