Advice to Management

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 of teachers and management is a pleasure to work with. Some of them have been with the Academy for years. I have seen teachers go well beyond their call of duty in order to better assist the students.

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.

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 teachers were let go due to shortage of work and making comments of this nature is uncouth.

The best part of Nile Academy is that the administration does trust teachers and their professional judgment. If you are willing to work, are passionate about teaching, this is the place for you. On many issues, teachers make decisions about their students' achievements. There are circumstances when principals override your decisions, but this is a rarity. Grades are not boosted; (this is a lie; i can tell you from personal experience that this is not true because the last thing the school wants is for students to go and flunk in their post-secondary studies which thereby tarnishes the image of the school). Another lie is that the admin is unaware of Growing Success. I cannot believe this. We've had so many workshops on this with admins present that I cannot recall.

In addition, only about 10 percent of the students pay about $ 20, 000 in tuition, the rest pay anywhere between 4-10. In this fee, dormitory, food, transportation, among others, are all included. The issue that I take is that most of the negative comments are unfounded.

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.

Advice to Management

Keep up the communication with employees, teachers like it.

Pros

None - Don't be fooled for the school's "beautiful" exterior. it's all a front and it's fake.

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.

Advice to Management

To work closer with the teachers, i. e. a close Communication is very important.

Pros

It was Easy to get hired, and the accoladesd they present fools you into thinking that it is a good school.

Advice to Management

To implement proper procedures and rules for staff and children., Provide quality professional advancement and work on an evidance based model.
