Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Nile Academy full-time for less than a year
Pros
Other new teachers became friends
Cons
At the boys’ school, female teachers faced daily sexual, verbal, and emotional harassment from the students and the management victim-blamed them and told them to “wear longer skirts” (longer than knee-length). Male teachers are respected and are allowed to get away with behaviour (yelling at students) that the women were swiftly penalized for. Toxic environment for women -avoid!!
Advice to Management
Learn to appropriately support female teachers and stop being sexist

I worked at Nile Academy full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great staff, like one big family, positive work environment, supportive administration. Great place to start your career. I worked there for 2 years and I miss it!
Cons
It's a non-profit organization so you can't expect a huge salary.

Pros
I am part of the administration at Nile Academy. I have had a wonderful experience with this school. The staff is supportive and understanding. These are the best hours I have had at a full-time job. Some of the students can at times be taxing on ones patience but I suppose that would be the case at any school. Overall though the students here are polite and well-behaved. They make the work here fulfilling. The team...

The pay could always be better. Even though there aren't the usual benefits of healthcare and such the management is very understanding and tries to help as much as possible.
Advice to Management
A clear cut method of dealing with student disciplinary issues will be a great plus at the Academy.

Pros
I needed some teaching experience to find a job at TDSB. Private schools are best to get experience to start to a career.
Cons
School was small and students were kinda hard to manage first months but at the end I got it done.
Advice to Management
More wages if possible, and may be closer to the staff!

Pros
The administration is willing to support any teacher that is committed to Nile Academy and the teaching profession. I am shocked at some of the comments that have been made. These are a few disgruntled teachers who have chosen teaching because they did not have any other choice. Everyone was made aware of what they would earn. To use this and attempt to tarnish the reputation of the school is not cool. I know that many...

- You are expected to be at the school up uptil 4:30 - 5 pm to provide additional assistance to students. - Wages are not very good (roughly net monthly income is around $ 2500-2900).
Advice to Management
They need to build a stronger relationship with their staff.

Pros
students and parents respect teachers. administration has an open door policy. they conduct weekly school improvement meetings. a lot of social activity programs for teachers and employees. small classroom sizes.
Cons
no benefit, a bit less salary.
Advice to Management
Keep up the communication with employees, teachers like it.

"Terrible administration with no communication among them."
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Nile Academy
Pros
None - Don't be fooled for the school's "beautiful" exterior. it's all a front and it's fake.
Cons
This is more of a business than an actual school. Minimum wages for the teachers and expects the teachers to work over time with NO pay! It's a zoo of a school.
Advice to Management
If you treat your teachers like crap, you'll be treated like crap. Learn to control your children and respect for your staff.

Pros
Teachers, and administrators are very friendly. Small classroom sizes gives you an opportunity to interact with all students in the class. Apparently, this year for the first time ESL students and students with special needs are being addressed individually. I liked how during the Interview the employers put all the conditions in front of you so there are no surprises later.
Cons
Mostly here at Nile Academy everything is ok, the students here are more respectful, However some of the need a little extra attention and assistance on their academics. More hours on ESL and Spec Ed. would be perfect.
Advice to Management
To work closer with the teachers, i. e. a close Communication is very important.
