Business Outlook

Pros

Working with highly intelligent, like-minded coworkers. Students that are eager to learn and succeed. Curriculum and resources are all provided for you. Extensive training available during internship year.

Cons

“Sink or swim” mentality. Toxic competitiveness between teachers and students. Upholds the philosophy of freedom and choice, but also has a bureaucratic “my way or the highway“ approach to certain policies.
