Inspiring Place to Work - Teacher/Administrator Alzar School Employee Review

Positive colleagues, powerful instruction to motivated teens. Great leadership development at all levels of school.

Some folks struggle with aspects of our programming that are less traditional, for example spending a good portion of the semester abroad in Chile. For others, this is a huge perk!

Growth and professional development if you put in effort and take opportunities. Working in both Chile and Idaho, allowing for great access and ability to live in destination places. Strong community and staff commitment to creating a positive student experience. Dynamic work environment and continuous engagement. Working with teens keeps this work engaging, exciting, and stretches growth edges. Being able to see individuals grow (staff and students) throughout a semester is really rewarding.

Work-life separation is difficult if you do not actively seek it out. Alzar staff and faculty are a big part of your community and it is easy to mix personal life and work life. Demanding workload being at a 24/7 operating boarding school during the academic school year. Not at 9-5. While schedules are created for the semester, they can vary at different points in the semester depending on organizational needs.
