    HAVIL“Havil” means virtue or character. We have the privilege of working with a school community that is committed to modelling, expecting and recognising good character in our students. We believe that students learn these qualities through the example that we set for them and by consistently putting them into practice.CharacterCharacter is a matter of the heart. It cannot be taught, it must be caught. We recognise the important role that parents and teachers play in shaping the way our children respond in situations that test their patience, integrity, honesty and grit. At Havil, we seek to employ the 5 Havil Principles in our day-to-day interactions with one another - staff, parents, families, students and the wider school community. If we want to see change in our next generation, it has to start with us!CompetenceEach one of our students have something to bring to the table. We are entrusted with the responsibility to raise a generation of learners who will not crumble under pressure, who recognise the importance of caring for others - expecting nothing in return, and who choose to live by the principles and values that have been instilled in them even if they have to endure hardship and difficulties.CommunityWe cannot take full credit for the successes that we witness as a school. Every member in our school community - staff, parents, families, friends, students - share the privilege of growing and learning together. The values that we choose to develop in one another help make sense of all that we do as a school and give purpose to the contribution that we make in our wider community.

    What’s it like working at Havil International School?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Havil International School appreciate the respectful, well-mannered students who are friendly and helpful. Teachers value the supportive colleagues and close-knit community, as well as the freedom in lesson planning and classroom autonomy. The school provides a good learning environment for new teachers to develop their skills and gain experience in various areas of teaching and management. Additionally, employees enjoy the cultural exposure and engaging activities built into the school's programmes.

    However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Teachers are expected to take on multiple roles beyond their primary teaching responsibilities, requiring adaptability and flexibility. Applying for leave can be challenging, even for necessary reasons. Some employees have noted concerns about management style, including perceptions of favouritism and feedback not always being actioned. The salary is average, with an expectation to work for passion rather than financial reward. Facilities could be improved, and the school operates with a family-oriented culture where teachers are expected to commit time and effort beyond standard working hours.

    Good students but be ready to do anything and everything
    The good thingsIf you're a new teacher looking for a small environment to hone your skills, this place would be an ideal location.
    The challengesDo note that management tends to play favourite and you need to be ready to do things out of your usual role. Its a company that prides everyone as family, so you should have that expectation to always give your all to the company.

    Great for development bad for your mental health.
    The good thingsThe people and students are great and very nice. Alot of fun activities that engage students and culture for students initiative is built. You'll learn to do alot take it with a pinch of salt. A good environment to learn and grow I other areas of teach /managing. You'll wear a lot of hats 😏
    The challengesExpect to take on multiple roles. Salary is average. You'll be expected to commit outside of work with your time and mental health. Taking leave for anything is hard and will met with disdain. Management has ways of playing favourites. Culture is always be willing and not complain. Your feedback will be heard but not taken into account. You'll be working for passion and "for the kids"
