guestI would agree that the English program suffers due to the lack of diversity in the lessons and the majority of non-native speakers.
guestIt is not an international school at all. School management is mostly American & British and they isolate minorities by all means, their decisions always favor the members of the club! They are also very intimidated by the rich German parents'; school is ruled by German mentality along with American touch. The admin team works for eachother not for the studenst or the other staff. Admin team has people who are very ineffective at teaching'; proved by evidence and many complaints received from parents but these mean nothing to the director and yet she continues to work with them! I could call it ignorance'; denial and even racism at times.
