Not a fan of AF's strict school environment or the interview process,The beginning stages of the process was as I expected: a week to hear back for a phone interview, a phone interview, then onto the final step: finalist day. On finalist day, you get a "tour" aka five minutes of walking around the school, then you observe classrooms, and get to teach a "guest lesson", wait eons for a critique, then you get critiqued. My critique was nowhere near as helpful as it could have been.The worst part is they are so full of themselves that they didn't want the applicant to interview anywhere else or accept any offers before seeing their school. If you expect me to put my life on hold the least you could do is be helpful, even if you do not like my style of teaching. Note: I withdrew my application before I knew the outcome. I never do that, but honestly, even if I was selected, I wouldn't work for them for a million dollars.

There’s an initial phone call that is first part of the interview, and then you complete the second part of the application where you answer interview questions via video. It’s not live but you record yourself answering the questions within a certain time limit. Afterwards, once you get accepted by the program you get an offer from a school and you do one final interview (supposed to be around 90 minutes with demo lesson, role play, questions about your teaching philosophies/techniques) with the school’s administration.
