Pros

Enough money for supplies, all kids have books, supportive principal and vice principal, concerned parents. Family atmosphere. Teachers in middle and high school teach the same students for multiple years so you can build deeper relationships.

Cons

Pay schedule is opaque, teachers fired with no reason given, board members with discipline problem children don't get the same punishment as others. Non-Muslims may experience some culture shock. Expect 10-20% less salary than at a public school. Wide differences in student levels, but not much accommodation because the school is so small. No advancement opportunities. Expect 5-6 preps.

Pros

-Teacher appreciation. The school came into some unexpected money at one point, and all teachers received an Amazon gift card. -Fair pay. This was my highest paying teaching job. -Small classes. I had 11 students. -Supplies. I was given packs of paper every few weeks, dropped off in my classroom- I never even had to ask for it. Staplers, markers, tape... I never had to purchase my own supplies. -Support. We had meetings once a month that were timely and informative, but didn't last too long or go overboard. -Clean. The cleaning crew was top notch and kept the trash managed, the rooms clean, and the restrooms pristine. I genuinely enjoyed working here and felt that this was a great environment in which to teach. Would have stayed for years if I hadn't needed to relocate.

Cons

-Breaks. I only had one planning period or break during the day when I wasn't with my students, and it was difficult to get everything done that I needed to get done during that time. However, I compensated for this by creating a "quiet play time," during which the students could play with toys in the classroom as long as they kept their voices down so that I could grade papers and concentrate. It worked out!
