How would you rate The American Baccalaureate School (ABS)?
This is a great school when it comes to safety, anti-bullying, and festivities. The education was great until 5 years ago! Then the system changed and it became all about the school maintaining its accreditation. Very strict rules. The students and teachers are always under pressure. Students have summer/ winter break project. No they are not optional. Summer homework is graded and student will take a test on it when they get back to school. Winter break packet is optional but you will need to do it to push your test grades. The school is crazy about assessments. Students are more assessed than they are taught! You have at least 2 assessments EVERY WEEK along with home works and projects. Sometimes 2 assessment on the same day. But there is not one week without assessment. Not formative assessment but summative assessments! If u are late between classes, they add them minutes and collect them and make you 鈥渕ake up for them鈥� after school or on Saturdays and you will have to pay 10KD and hour (30$). MAP tests are graded!! They want to push students to take the MAP test seriously so and do well to brag about the school鈥檚 outcome and maintain their accreditation. The MAP test scores are converted to grade and posted as quiz test. There is more load on students at home. More work at home and no time for hobbies or exercise. They do not encourage creativity. Because there is no time for that. Strict on bullying and violence. Teachers are respectful. They love detentions! You wear jewelry, after school detention, you speak in class, after school detention, you open the lab faucet for fee seconds, detention! Kids laughing in class, call they鈥檙e parents to pick them up! If you want your child to have no life but to sit and do work that is impossible to be done by the student independently, if you are ok with your son/ daughter to do work on vacation and to be attentive to Teams 24/7 because they are worried the teacher might post new HW, you take them to this school. Very stressful. In terms of grades, they always have compensation. If you do bad in the test, you get a packet and solve it to push ur grades. So your grades don鈥檛 necessarily reflect your assessment outcome.

I started teaching at ABS seven years ago. It has been a personal and professional growth experience. The staff and faculty have been very supportive and kind. I have been able to use the skills I went to University to accomplish. Working at ABS is a fulfilling experience in many ways. The enhancements provided are inviting and sufficient, such as housing, travel pay to home of origin and the experience of international teaching. Working at ABS will give you the experience of teaching in a foreign environment that would be an added consideration on your resume. I enjoy working at ABS and will continue for quite a few years in the future.
